The Rain

I have been embraced by the rain
Surrounded by summer thunder
Enraptured by the scent of wet stone and sky
I have been comforted by warm humidity
That wafts through my open window
And holds me as I cry
I have been accepted by the raindrops
As each one falls to the ground
Just another ripple, indistinct, part of the collective puddle
I have been embraced by the rain
When I cried out
And no one else came.

Hi there, I used excerpts from your poem in a track I made called 'Petrosphere' and, naturally, I attributed you. I hope you post more content like this - you have an amazing voice!
