      The Rainstruck Lullaby - Paulina Pähkel

      Falling Notes of the Earth

      Softly sighing leaves descend,

      Whispering secrets to the ground.

      Nature's music plays again,

      In every flutter, beauty found.

      Raindrops tapping on the stone,

      Every drop a gentle kiss.

      Echoes of the earth’s sweet tone,

      In this moment, purest bliss.

      Colors swirl in fluid grace,

      Dancing shadows in the light.

      A symphony’s warm embrace,

      Cradling day, surrendering night.

      Seeds of hope in mud reside,

      Nurtured by the storm's embrace.

      From the dark, the dreams abide,

      Life springs forth from each soft trace.

      In the quiet, heartbeats thrum,

      Nature’s rhythm in the breeze.

      Feeling alive, we become,

      One with all, our souls at ease.

      Shadows Dancing in the Rain

      Beneath the clouds, a dance unfolds,

      Silhouettes of dreams take flight.

      Whispers linger, stories told,

      As raindrops weave the day to night.

      Puddles shimmer, skies collide,

      Reflections of a world anew.

      All around, the breezes glide,

      Carrying tales of me and you.

      Umbrellas bloom like flowers bright,

      Colorful patches in gray hues.

      In this moment, pure delight,

      Every soul, a heart to choose.

      Shadows twirl on cobblestone,

      Softly tracing memories gone.

      In the rain, I feel at home,

      Where the heart's true dance goes on.

      Every drop a note of grace,

      Playing softly on my skin.

      Lost within this timeless space,

      Where the shadows dance and spin.

      Whispers of Wetness

      In the stillness, raindrops fall,

      Softly kissing the thirsty ground.

      Nature’s gentle, sweetened call,

      In every droplet, life is found.

      Through the veil of misty gloom,

      Whispers float upon the breeze.

      Awakening the earth to bloom,

      Nature dances with such ease.

      Every leaf a glistening gem,

      Swaying lightly with the song.

      In this world, we’re connected,

      To the rain, we do belong.

      Clouds above, a soothing shroud,

      Enveloping us in their care.

      Listen closely, hear them loud,

      All the secrets that they share.

      In this moment, time stands still,

      Wetness wraps around our souls.

      With each drop, we feel the thrill,

      As nature teaches us our roles.

      Melodies in the Downpour

      The sky begins her soft lament,

      Each drop a note in harmony.

      Nature's voice, pure and intent,

      Bringing forth a symphony.

      Dark clouds cradle, magic flows,

      A canvas painted with the rain.

      Underneath, the wild grass grows,

      Life awakens once again.

      Rhythms echo through the trees,

      Leaves sway with the gentle breeze.

      Every heartbeat, every pause,

      Feels like music, nature’s laws.

      In the storm, we find our peace,

      Letting go of every care.

      With each melody's release,

      We are free, weightless in air.

      So let the heavens pour their song,

      Immerse yourself in nature's art.

      In the dance of rain, belong,

      Feel the rhythm in your heart.

      Echoes in the Wet Sand

      Footprints left in the damp sea,

      Whispers of waves call to me.

      The horizon blurs in gentle grace,

      Time drifts softly, a slow embrace.

      Children laugh, their joy to last,

      As seagulls circle, memories cast.

      Each tide carries stories anew,

      In the wet sand, dreams slip through.

      Shells collect like scattered thoughts,

      Sunset paints the sky in splotches.

      I walk the shore, a quiet plea,

      For echoes to linger, wild and free.

      The moon rises, a silver guide,

      Tides retreat, with secrets to confide.

      In stillness, night wraps its hand,

      Cradling whispers in the wet sand.

      Tomorrow’s light promises more,

      A canvas blank, waiting on the shore.

      But tonight, in peace, I’ll remain,

      Listening to echoes, in the wet sand's domain.

      Umbrella Dreams

      Underneath
