The rain and the beauty of the earth

The breeze is blowing softly I can hear the sound of splash, splash! Am I awake or sleeping.

It looks like its raining outside, Shall I go outside and see, No need, I am getting an aroma.

A feeling of something special, A fragrance of the particles of dust, Celebrating the whiff of the earth.

Lucy The Eggcademic (she/her), I loved this prompt and I saw it today, so here I am. When the rain falls, I love the smell of the mud. It is a strange fragrance of the remnants of the rain mixed with the earth’s own heavenly perfume. It brings a strong whiff to my nostrils. This is a celebration for me.
