The rain is at the door

Spiritually uplifting poetry about what truly moves folks in life , set as a natural metaphor

The sky is grey
as dawns this day...
birds' laughter,
all is stilled,
clouds shed their truth,
land drinks enough,
all as earth's
father willed.

Alive we must
trample the dust.
We scarcely dare to meet.
In passing by
we say to try,
ourselves, to bear the heat.

Facing the sky
our spirits fly,
as if we had been kissed,
with feelings high
we down the lie
with gentleness of mist.

Cares washed away,
come all that may,
a heart with happiness...
is over-flowed,
cares not the load,
our love we do confess.

Now growing fast,
raised arms at last,
four winds are at the door
give thanks for this
moment of bliss...
the rain has come once more.


 " Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain;
so the LORD shall make bright clouds,
and give them showers of rain,
to every one grass in the field."
[Zechariah 10:1]

'as dawns this day' is a biblical reference {since it was queried) ... the symbology in scripture is that the 'night' of mankind in this earth precedes the daylight of mankind living in love in the new earth ... dawn is thus in fact the correct term in the original meaning of day [nightfall being the start of the day according to God and Hebrew tradition ] ... most folks sense that this world is going wrong big-time , the dawn is simply an expression of the spirit's promise of life beyond the night of mankind... that is what the poem is about, ymbology of the promise that love conveys to those who mke it a reality in life...

Decent poem, it lacks a lot of flow and it's not all too smooth to read. From the very beginning I was skeptical due to the line "as dawns this day..." It's not very grammatically correct and doesn't seem to have been used by a poetic license either. It was all right though, the imagery was okay and it connected to your religious quote.

T.R.I.A.T.D. has a gentle lyrical flow. The nature metaphor definitely came shining through this gentle rain of poetry ... Loved this phrase:" clouds shed their truth,
land drinks enough. " The last verse is wonderful... Bravo!
