When the rains burst forth br from heaven's lofty heights, br Apollo deigns to repress his golden light. br br Beneath, waves unfurl with whitecaps br crashing on my island's sand; br I feel the strength of Mother Nature's land. br br Render me no umbrella for this storm; br no paltry drops are felt to prickle skin, br just blur of storm to be consumed within. br br Rain has always been a love to me.... so br when crystal droplets fall they become a part br of the euphoria felt deep within my heart.
