Just Like Rain

Just Like Rain

 

Drops falling like crystals,

Bursting when reaching the earth.

A cleansing takes place

As newness births.

 

Love falls,

Sometimes soft as feathers.

Other instances,

Falling strongest of pillars.

 

Rain down,

Oh rain down upon little me.

Love’s perfect work,

Nourish brittle me.

 

Soon, the drops of rain

Become a pouring, sweeping rush.

A washing bath

To a soul’s gentle hush.

 

Love reigning,

A completeness of the soul.

For love is the way

Ever told.

 

Silently descending,

Bold enough to be pleasantly felt.

A trickle here, a trickle there,

A kiss which melts.

 

Love holds,

Even if all else is strained.

It comes a flood

Just like rain.

Your poem is a beautiful and uplifting celebration of love and its power to renew and nourish the soul. The use of imagery, such as the raindrops falling like crystals and the pouring, sweeping rush of the rain, creates a sense of movement and progression that reinforces the idea of love's transformative power. The repetition of the phrase "Love falls" and the use of parallelism add a sense of rhythm and momentum to the poem, and the final line "Just like rain" ties everything together in a satisfying way.
