Rain

Rain crackles on the sidewalks As the thunder bellows and roars. Cars hiss by on the wet streets As fallen leaves soar. Lightning flashes in the clouds As the trees dance in the wind. Chills and goosebumps rise on my arms As the cold rain hits my skin. Birds sing in their havens As rivers form in the parking lot. Blades of grass flinch and twitch  As they are pelted by raindrops. Cars sweat and weep buckets As they are left out in the stormy weather. Puddles form in the mud As raindrops splash ripples in them together. The scent of asphalt and rain Fills the cool, humid air As God’s rain calms my restless soul And washes away my despair.

I Wish There Was Snow

I wish there was snow

On Christmas day.

I miss the good times

When we were little.

We would go out to play

And slide down the white slopes

On makeshift sleighs

And form snowballs

To throw at each other

And make snowmen.

When we got too cold

We would go inside,

And once we were warm

We’d go out and play again.

I wish there was snow

On Christmas day.

But we live in Georgia

So it’s hard to say

If we’ll ever have snow

On any given day.

I wish there was snow

During the winter days,

But right now in Georgia

We only have rain.
