Cast these shadows off the rain
Let it gleam and shine again
Not just drizzle damp and grey but
Sharp to steal my heart away
Let the wind come icy cold
And let my will be strong and bold
To face the thunder in the skies
And live forever in your eyes

Don't you just love it when the sun shines through the rain and everything gleams - that's what this poem made me think of, although it's nothing to do with that really. Maybe you could call it Gleaming Rain.

I love our climate! We get everything, occasionally overcast and drizzle, but it's indicative of both our society and nature that we usually only get thunder lightning and storms after intense heat. When it rains so hard (to quote BlackAdder... so hard it makes your head bleed...) I love driving up to the hills and standing out getting wet. I mean, wet? Our skin is waterproof, it's our clothes that fail us. Little things like this make us feel so alive.

Also, the sun shining off the rain and everything gleaming is not something that everyone can see all the time. Nor does it just 'happen'. I love the world! (New Model Army - Thunder and Consolation - 1989)

I think people need to actively seek out their own ways of feeling alive! It stands to reason that you 'reap what you sow'. As I've commented somewhere before, I love the way that sometimes you can never express the way you feel in any number of words, and other times you can say so much with so few words.

Poem to a girlfriend, who I'm sure tries her best to understand me



You and me
Forever two
Love you always
My dream too...

Shaun - wonderful that you too can appreciate the sheer joy of the power of a rainstorm. So many people huddling miserably, resenting its ubiquity, when they should be embracing it, celebrating the rain's reach...
