Rain

reflections on a rain day

Rain

There is

this certain sense of sanity

that falls with rain. An empty

quietude remains, undefined,

uncoloured solitude drifting in

and out as patterns shift and

sway, almost comically.

Distance undefined beneath

ample gray and everything

leans beneath the burden

of replenished green.

Words fall and are lost

in shattered puddles that

define in silver and stone,

shifting dances under foot

and drop. Each paragraph

tapped out on rooftops,

in-deciphered words

from a weeping gray

teletype. To know the rain,

to delve into the song,

to have passion nourished,

to have the rain become

your tears,

is to really know.

It's truth. I also had this feeling tonight. My goodness, you are a soul of the universe, and felt it too.

Melodic and tempered with elegance. Rain stirs up so many different kinds of emotions. Some of it calm...refreshing. It can also be a reminder of our tears, heartbreak. and of memories that bleed.

I never looked at rain that way...perhaps it is sane...perhaps it knows our smiles...our pain.

A delicate, beautifully written poem, sir.
I could feel and see the rain as you described it.
The flow... excellent.
A truly enjoyable read.

"just a walking in the rain/getting soakin' wet..." and then all those lonely hours watching through different windows at the same rain...splendid poetry, a real louisiana rain
