It's like breathing, or my heart beating.
An instant reaction. I have to get out and be.
It is the most glorious feeling…
It washes me in a totally new way,
New as it baptizes me with the smell of a life beginning,
Even on my fingertips.
I love the way I close my eyes, and still see it.
I can touch it and hold it to my lips,
Almost like a lover that will never leave me.
A good kind of trap, a way I can't describe completely.
The moisture settling in my finger tips.
My heart cries, love. I am invincible,
Like an angel on this gravelly ground.
I am His flawed crystal, Child of the rain.
I love the humid motion that I can hold so briefly
Before it can slip away.
Profound is the only way to describe
This feeling. So in touch.
After the rain,
There are no others to compare.

oh man, it was so long, so I kept just my favorite parts, since it can't be more than twenty lines. I haven't written anything for like, a year and a half. I really missed the rain, because I'm kind of sick of all the snow. I'll post the longer version later. Thanks for the cool contest AutumnGypsy 
and for the picture, zaratops.
