The Symphony of the Rainy Night By Sue Ellson As I walk along The streets so dark And hear the rain Making its mark In the gutters that overflow The sound of creeks in full flow The crashing sounds of the drains Like waterfalls tumbling to the plains The tinkle of the rain On the parked cars glass The silhouette of trees Keep changing as I pass The soft raindrops Fall on my face like kisses Sent from above To grant me wishes As the orchestra of sounds Fills my heart once more As the conductor of nature Creates its own score Here in my city suburb A temporary rain forest With street lights for moons Wet leaves singing the chorus As I walk closer to home I ponder a little more About how to stay in the rain That gently inspires me to the core But return I must To my own sweet haven My balance restored By a walk in the rain I recently went on a walk in the rain (29 April 2020) in the early hours of the evening and wrote this when I got home. On the walk, there were wet leaves and puddles everywhere and I arrived home sopping wet! However, I had such a wonderful time, even though I was on my own and didn’t have someone to chat with on the journey. I hope this poem inspires you to rug up this winter and enjoy a walk in the rain, even if you are not near a rainforest! With love, Sue 🙂 #rainpoem #rainpoetry #sueellson #sueellsonpoem #poem #poetry https://sueellson.com/blog/the-symphony-of-the-rainy-night/
