Tell Me What The Rain Knows

A poem that reminds us that no matter how depressing life seems the darkness will pass into a new and beautiful tomorrow.

 

Tell me what the rain knows.

If it is the tears of angels,

Then wash away my heart ache

And see how the sky grows clear.

 

Tell me what the rain knows.

As I wander down life’s path

Shower me with its wisdom

And flood me with the truth.

 

Tell me what the rain knows.

Whisper it into my ear,

As I stand here, crying,

The rain hiding my tears.

 

    Please, tell me what the rain knows.

So when life swells with tempests

I can stand firm and be at peace

With rain’s knowledge that “All will pass.”

 

Ah, and watch the sun rise up,

Embracing me with warmth as

I soar on the wings of morning.

A new day has come!

And my troubles are gone, gone with the rain

"And my troubles are gone, gone with the rain"

Gorgeous. This poem was beautiful. I love the whole concept of this poem. It's interesting to see what people can take from nature. Asking what the rain might know...completely and utterly brilliant! This poem had me from the title, first line and every line after that.

Life's free pleasures are so easy to overlook but when you actually stay in one spot and absorb everything around you has to offer, something like this poem comes about and inspiration bewilders all of us!

It's like being in a whole new state of mind.
Poetry about nature creates such a high.

I love how you interpreted rain. I love it. Washing away all that's dirty and bad.

Again, sorry for the ramble, but perfect :)

WOW! This really appealed to me. I like this alot it pulled at my heart strings. All I can say is this is awesome!

All I can say is I loved the concept hidden inside the title. I'm a bit skeptical of the content of the poem, since for me it tends to lean more in the sentimental side of beauty, rather than the more realistic, and vivd side.

Also isn't the word 'troubles' just a euphemism for something greater happening in the background?

I don't know about kind, sweet and cute, but I do know a piece of work when I see one. This is quite good. Ah yes, listen to the falling rain. Telling stories of the past, of the future, of life, of love. pitter patter. Im afraid living Wa. you probably know more about rain then most. Nice work.

Deep, sad, and hopeful. Odd collection of things, but awesome, too. Loved your use of rain as a symbol for cleansing. :)
Loved it! Keep writing.

This is fabulous. I absolutely adore it. It's felled with wisdom and the words, every one, are finely chiseled and in their perfect places.

A favorite.
