Rain

This morning it rained. I woke up and before I opened my eyes I could hear the drops hitting the leaves just outside my window and the lazily rolling thunder somewhere far away and I could hear that the world was quiet and smell the newness and freshness the rain was bringing and I knew it was one of those early morning summer rains that you think will never end so you go back to sleep just to see if it will still be there when you wake up and then you do and it is so you go back to sleep and you try and you try again and again and every time you wake up it's still raining and you can still hear the thunder only now it’s a little closer and you can still smell the rain and you think that maybe it will never stop because that’s what kind of rain it is. And it was beautiful.
