“Through the rainy forest I tread,
Raindrops softly falling on my head
The trail, slippery from damp leaves
Slides me deeper into nature’s sanctuary
Each step leaves a mushy footprint in the ground
Just me alone here even the birds aren’t hanging around
There is just something about these quiet hikes
Makes the risk of getting soaked worth the try
The streams are swelling you can her the sound
In every direction you walk, all around
Here, time slows, just you and the rhythm of the rain
A soul bath, quieting the brain
So let the rain fall, let the trees wrap me in an embrace
For in this gray cocoon, I’ve found my church, my happy place…”
My poem inspired by this rainy day hike…
