Slow paced, slow mooded rain!

As predicted in a weather site

Of a thunder storm with light rains

Right after getting dark

Thunder and lightning started

For one hour no rain still their play

Wind gained speed, gradually

Tiny droplets came swirling down

Droplets grew in size slowly drops big enough

Yet not big enough to be a shower

A slow paced, slow mooded rain!

It’s pleasing wind outside the door

Yet the blinding lightning bit frightening

With deafening thunder, rain enjoyable

Though slow paced, slow mooded

A gentle lulling rain!

The rain continued in the same slow vein

Continuing more than a hour

Me watching, enjoying, counting the time

Slowly the droplets stopped ending the

Slow rain, still cooling a hot summer night

The slow rain came as a blessing

In the hot summer night to cool

Rain is welcome, drizzle, slow

Or shower as gift from the heaven

A rain is a rain,thank you ! Keep coming!
