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 :)

Really like it!!! Your a GREAT poet! I find it very touching!

This was amazing, you should write poems more often! that "All will pass." just pierced my heart, that was like a revelation. Now I know how Moses felt when he wrote down the ten commandments. :)

THREE WORDS: write...poems...more....often!

This is very nicely portrayed! :) GREAT!

A knowing through a high and a meditation of natural high.
It was very relatable and not just easy to understand but acually seemed understanding like the rain because you wrote it so well

great similie with the rain representing sorrowful times, the coming of the sun being symbolic of happiness to come or "a light at the end of the tunnel"
"So when life swells with tempests
I can stand firm and be at peace
With rain’s knowledge that “All will pass.”" My favourite part, it was beautiful

This hits, hard. Such a beautiful piece of writing; your imagery is so consuming and captivating. "Shower me with its wisdom And flood me with the truth." favorite lines, i can't begin to explain how that made me feel. Incredibly sincere. Yeah, i basically love this! :)

"A new day has come!
And my troubles are gone, gone with the rain"
I loved this ending not only because the way it flows but also the way it is not an ending but also a beginging.
Great work out of interest what does the rain symbolise to you?
giving a good score of 100 for you awsume work.

I was reading this poem while it was raining and I couln't help but to read it to the rain as silly as that sounds .Ioved it.

I'm very fond of this poem after my initial read, and repeatedly reading it only fuels my love for it. I can definately see the strong use of pathetic falicy in this poem involving one of my favourite weather conditions, rain. Rain can inspire us all and you've inspired me with this piece to think about writing a pathetic falicy piece of prose. Thanks for the read.
