The Weather

The Weather the last few days, well every other day since Wednesday 21st of November 2012 has been uniquely different in opposite contrasts, as Thursday was wet and windy, Friday was dry and cloudy, whilst today it has gone back to wet & windy but not as windy at the current moment (18.00 GMT). I saw this poem which I thought I share with you now to read.

Rain, Rain, wash over me,
cleanse an purify me,
your drops, so soothing n' smooth,
lull me to sleep, content, not blue,

Rain, Rain, drops abound,
clean my body n' soul,
make me new,
with no walls around,

Rain Rain, my roof you seek,
your floods wash over me,
the emotions do peek,
cause rain is life-giving,
much zeal to thee,

Rain, Rain, clean my body,
for you always make me,
feel so fancy n' so free,

Rain, Rain, refreshing to me,
for during the rain,
no refrain from sleepin I see,

Rain, Rain, stay with me,
cause I'm in love with you,
you leave me unchained,
feeling worthy, not blue.

Now I am not a major lover of rain, but this poem brightened up what has been a dreadful last few days.

Severe gale force winds ripped metal sheeting off roofs, downed trees and power lines, and blew over a 40ft temporary building, while heavy rain brought down a bridge, flooded roads and threatened properties. Forecasters have issued "yellow" warnings for further heavy rain on Saturday and Sunday.
