To someone it means love is in the air
To another it is a reason to despair..
To someone it is god sent
To another it is the devil, hell bent
For someone the rain is pure bliss
A special time for the eternal first kiss
For another the rain is foreboding
Loss to the land and hoarding
To someone, it is a musical rhythmic plop
And to another it means damaged crop
So many meanings, different, yet the same
So many facets; and a simple rain drop
But to me the rain will forever transcend
Into a glory unknown, the effervescent rain drop
My spirits soar, my heart leaps
As my face feels the first rain drop.
