      Beneath the Drenched Skies - Olivia Oja

      Forest Secrets in Rain

      The forest whispers soft and low,

      Beneath the shroud of misty flow.

      Each raindrop tells a tale untold,

      In hues of green and silver gold.

      Leaves dance gently in the breeze,

      Nature's rhythm brings sweet ease.

      Puddles form like tiny lakes,

      Reflecting dreams that nature makes.

      Mushrooms sprout in hidden nooks,

      A world that calls in secret books.

      The air is fresh with life anew,

      A symphony of drip and dew.

      Footsteps hush on pathways old,

      Stories in the silence bold.

      With every step, the echoes hum,

      Of rain's embrace, where secrets drum.

      In the heart of verdant trails,

      Mysteries wrapped in leafy veils.

      The forest breathes, a sacred place,

      Where rain unveils its soft embrace.

      The Quietude of Melting Clouds

      The clouds drift by in gentle sway,

      A dance of white where shadows play.

      Soft whispers drift on breezy trails,

      As sunlight warms the fading veils.

      Colors blend in twilight's glow,

      A canvas bright, where dreams can flow.

      Each moment lingers, sweet and pure,

      In nature's pause, our hearts endure.

      As droplets fall, the earth receives,

      A silent strength in rustling leaves.

      Every breath holds stories vast,

      Of yesterday's joys, forever cast.

      The world below in stillness waits,

      While skyward melts the softened fates.

      In this hour, all noise subsides,

      And peace within the heart abides.

      Clouds may vanish, yet they leave,

      A tethered calm, a sweet reprieve.

      In every shade and every hue,

      The quietude paints skies anew.

      Stormy Night's Embrace

      Dark clouds gather close,

      Thunder rolls and rumbles.

      Lightning splits the night,

      Nature's fury tumbles.

      Winds howl through the trees,

      Branches sway, bend, and creak.

      A tempest's fierce might,

      Leaves the silent meek.

      Raindrops beat like drums,

      On rooftops, steady sound.

      Each splash a heartbeat,

      In rhythm, we are bound.

      The world is alive,

      In chaos, we find peace.

      Stormy night holds tight,

      In shadows, fears release.

      When dawn breaks the dark,

      A silver lining glows.

      Reflections in puddles,

      Of the night that arose.

      Lullaby of the Soggy Ground

      Soft whispers of rain,

      Caress the thirsty earth.

      Gentle trembling drops,

      Awaken life’s rebirth.

      Each puddle reflects,

      A dance of clouds above.

      Nature’s sweet embrace,

      A symphony of love.

      Moss carpets the ground,

      Emerald in the light.

      Soggy yet serene,

      In warmth, it feels just right.

      The worms stir and crawl,

      In the cool, dampened soil.

      Hidden life stirs deep,

      In harmony, they toil.

      As twilight descends,

      The stars twinkle and gleam.

      Underneath the weight,

      Of earth, we softly dream.

      The Elegy of Sullen Skies

      Gray veils hang above,

      A shroud of muted hue.

      Whispers of lost dreams,

      In the night, they strew.

      Clouds weep heavy tears,

      For tales left untold.

      Echoes of silence,

      In the damp air fold.

      Barren branches sway,

      In the sorrowful breeze.

      Memories linger long,

      Like shadows in the leaves.

      Each droplet that falls,

      Marks a moment of strife.

      The elegy plays on,

      For the rhythms of life.

      Yet within the gloom,

      Hope’s flickers remain bright.

      For even gray skies,

      Will yield to morning light.

      As Raindrops Embrace the Soil

      Raindrops kiss the ground,

      In a soft, sweet ballet.

      Nature breathes deeply,

      As clouds drift away.

      Every
