Standing in the rain
Light pattering on the face
Raindrops from the sky
Softness of touch caressing
Tranquility pervading

Eyes kept close dreaming
Unflinching in his resolve
Wetness on his face
Thoughts of  childhood innocence
Raced back through his memory

For Chev's Carpe Diem #1082  - raindrops
