Rainy days | a poem

I love rainy days.
I love how the smell
of earth dances
inside my nostrils.
Like a perfume perfectly
curated for me.
And how each droplet
that grazes my skin,
Ever so slightly
touches my soul.
I love how the
pitter patter of droplets
crescendos into a roar
so mighty it moves
entire nations.
But most of all,
I love the calm.
I love the last moments
of a storm,
When everybody has
gotten home safe
And has found their
way to their beds.
Snuggled under a
heap of blankets.
Awaiting sleep in
the darkness.
Comforted only by
the sweet melody
Of rain drops,
cascading down
on earth.
