A Balm of Rain

The cold rain a balm on my skin
That’s gently gracing my soft cheeks
A solemn misty night does begin
As droplets fall from the dark sky
I look upward feeling small and meek
Light drizzle drips like tears I cry

A slight breeze blows across the trees
A tame whisper against my face
In this moment I feel wildly free
As the wind creates a rustling sound
My calm thoughts wander from this place
There destination can’t be found

Is this time gone into forever?…
This question has no actual answer
For the soft heart isn’t that clever
As it beats with gentle music
It’s notes glide like a free dancer
A fevered tempo, you can lick

The mind wandered on the rain
It sailed with the droplets this night
To some quiet dark distant plane
Where peace surrounds the vivid day
Bringing clarity into its sight
Yet allowing the heart to stay

See, now this is one where I just put down the blanket and with a glass of page, allow the subtle whisps of "this and that" which command my attention from line to line. An emotional wisdom cold in its wanderings...you use rain and surely I know this feeling of being inept and this balm of something calming such as rain...well woven like that dance and the tempo you have licked and given it just the right amount of "Hmmmmm?". Now I'll just sit here in a warmer ray and glance down into my quanderings over words and "vulnerabilities" that grow by thought with every line. Beautifuly written once again. Thanks~

There is something about rain and storms that are calming and freeing to my soul. It’s like taking a deep breath and releasing all that doesn’t need to be there.

I woke up this morning where a friend had posted..'I'm not a girl, I am a storm with skin.". I had to admit having been a friend for many years that it was quite fitting, but yes...Agreed~ ..Love is love and rain ..well rain is rain and so welcome it shall come here soon with spring. Nothing quite so calming to me as well as a grand crashing storm with candles and darkness so in total agreement. Cheers~

It has been warmer the typical here and we have already had few storms and rain. It’s storming now

Thank you for you kind words

[Jibey]

Gentle rain can be very calming and soothing... washing care away, cleansing the soul. Personally, I love to connect to Nature in any way...

[Poetic Beauty]

I find peace and freedom in nature. It calls to the inner wild within me for some reason; especially a summer thunder storm.

Thank you for your kind word. Rain especially at night is calming yet wild and free to me. I love the feel of the light droplets hitting my skin and on my hair with the light breeze tickling my skin. I really love being out in the rain on a warm summer night or afternoon

Calm, quiet, soothing; your poem drifts with positive vibes, anticipation looks, peaceful tomorrows.
