A drop of Rain

A drop of Rain

A Poem by Gaurav
"

When life choose to rest and you don't...that's when death begins

"
We stand apart
in the hailstorm of unseen 
yet there is a light
we choose to see
Dark, it is not your thing
nor your sorrow is your darkness
make it your light instead
bright as sun-light
Inside your home is a tunnel
that opens in a sea
go swim there for your lifetime
and don't come back
We stand apart
in the hailstorm of unseen......
Woes of life
and weakness of soul
you can't hid in that tiny layers 
of brain and heart
Limit yourself in a drop of rain
and observe 
and fall where its destiny is
how beautiful that is
to surrender
just travelling
falling like a free spirit
not rebelling
just surrendering
I want to be a drop of rain

And merge with Mother ocean of all time/s as the raindrop, there is a Rumi type quality to this piece, an inviting poem that renders the reader thoughtful :)

thank you for your review :)
Many people live their lives in darkness, afraid to venture further afield when there is so much more. When I think of raindrops, I think of light and freedom. I would rather be a raindrop for a day, than caught in a tunnel of darkness not knowing if and when it would end. Your lines made me take a wander.

Good you should
This is a lyrical & whimsical poem that dances between reality & unreality. It reminds me of how there are so many more vibrations & connections that we realize between people & other aspects of life. We only know what we can touch & feel & hear, etc. But your poem suggests "a tunnel that opens up to a sea" & this, to me, is that way we are connected to that which we cannot see. It could be another person out of sight or it could be a refreshing rain when we're standing in the desert. Our minds & spirits are so much more powerful than many people realize. Your poem feels like there's a whole bunch of life & feelings -- magical & whimsical -- not easily explained in black & white or touchable terms (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

"Limit yourself in a drop of rain//and observe" sounds lovely. We really could learn a lot if we gave more importance to observation and introspection in our lives.
