Rain … by Aaki
She stood in the cold night ,
Her arms clasped tight
As the rain was pelting ,
Her heart was melting
Soaked in his memories
Her heart was warm and light .
His laugh ,mesmerising like the sunrise.
That deep look in his eyes,
That gaze ,that set her heart ablaze;
He definitely was not just a phase.
As she waited for her ride,
She couldn’t stop smiling wide.
Her heart was pounding,
With the rain drops resounding.
She couldn’t wait to see his face
And soak up his warm embrace .

Reena’s words : Let the thoughts flood your mind. You may use the word

Alternatively, I found a picture which is experimental on Unsplash.
nature gifts a tune
drips the drops of rain to play
gentle beats to soothe
crystals clear - misted visions
rhythms soft - comforts silence

Water held by the clouds
has an ambition to join its friends
in rivers , lakes, and ponds
leaving the relative comfort of the clouds
travelling through the sky
till it meets terra firma
enjoy colour ? watch it paint
as it travels through the grey or blue
brightening it up in seven different shades
