Rain Rain don't go away!!!!

I wait like the parched earth, thirsty for rain,
Bristling with excitement at the grey sky above,
A matter of minutes, a matter of seconds,
Before the first drop touches the land,
Leaving its fluffy home in clouds above,
To reach the eager and yearning earth below,
With its drenching torrents of silver slivers,
In pearly drops and in descending rivers,
When all of creation scrambles for shelter,
I stand hither abandoned to nature,
The smell of rain filling the air,
Fills my soul with a yearning unknown,
The gentlest ruffle of the playful breeze,
Havoc, in my controlled poise, it wreaks,
The chirp of a bird singing with glee,
Joins this strange and festive melee,
The lightning strikes and the thunder rolls,
My heart thumps wildly and my fingers close,
The wind picks up speed, beats against my face,
The smell of rain intensifies in space,
The air grows heavy, trees bend windwards,
I lift my eyes up, and the earth gazes skywards.
