Editor's Choice: "Ethereal Refrain"

Sweet rain,

A melancholic beauty,

In every drop's flow.

Your memory haunts me so.

Your gentle touch,

On my skin so fair,

Brings solace to my soul,

And calm to the air.

Your rhythmic beat,

Echoes wisps of memories

The scent of wet earth,

A perfume so fine,

Fills my heart with mirth.

In your misty veil,

A melancholic peace,

Your sweet refrain,

Songs of love, loss, pain.

Raindrops on the roof,

A soothing serenade,

A heartbeat in the night,

A lullaby that whispers, "all is right."

Let the rain wash over me,

A soothing balm, for my soul's dark plea.

For in your beauty, I find my peace,

Sweet rain, of my ethereal refrain.
