Distant rolling thunder calls, and gentle rainfall pattering,
The sweet, damp scent of sodden earth, and moss with lichen mingling
Bright arcs of light the night defy, and clouds like giants mustering
Soft drops of rain and misty breeze on tender skin so welcoming
From whetted lips my tongue escapes to capture nature's offering

Your poem perfectly captures a rainstorm - one of my favorite things.
What a lovely scene you've described. Amazing writing.
