"Listening To The Rain..."

...we do that don't we...

We don't always know how we'll react to a "voice", a sound, thoughts …perceptions… or even a …now.

 

 

“Listening To The Rain…”

 

So many whispers echo behind the eyes,

wishes soft of future past

and tomorrow's never come -

and silly lil tears that burn

and meander round-and-around

and around -

a silence so vast

that the echoes…

the echoes …cry.

The echoes cry, listening to the rain, great poem, the lines are sparse but full of meaning,

[Chris]

There are really, really long sequenced "thoughts" within the 41-ish pages posted here at WC... and Haiku/Senyru as well - it's what we do you and I.

I've always felt there's a strange connection between listening to the rain and past memories cropping back up, no matter how they happen. The inner silence can be deadly...
Lovely expressions here. Nice reading you.

[Chris]

It's been awhile, nice seeing you here again.

[Gabriele]

A timely poem for today, just not raining

[LazerRays]

Oh I've reviewed this before but that wasn't hardly a review. Anyways, I did mention the personification of the rain which stood out to me nicely. I think by putting personalities on things like that can make us appreciate and understand those things more. Once we start seeing the characterization and beauty of an object/thing it becomes a piece of us we cherish. Poetry speaks life with words, and you did just that! Very nice, Chris.
Have a nice day!

Sarah - is good "Hearing" you. I DO have literally hundreds upon hundreds of bits of my thoughts posted here. About 40 pages worth of titles - visible to readers. You are welcome to explore to your heart's content.

[LazerRays]

Of course! :D

[Chris]

Heart searing. Your writing is as always beautiful. I wish I had something more profound to say than that. But I don't so I'll leave it at that.

[Chris]

What is more profound than being touched that deeply?

[felioness]

Sadness mixed with begrudging acceptance...I always carrying g that little nugget around with me in a lint filled pocket. Good write... got me thinking.

[Chris]

It's what we as poets attempt to do...

[Coyote Poetry]

A very deep poem. I enjoyed it. I love listening to the rain when I can't sleep so I have my bluetooth facemask play the sound of rian.

[Chris]

The rhythm is calming to me as well...

[Jade]

Deep and emotional, I enjoyed this write.
Felt kinda of sad in a way as well.
Nicely expressed

[Chris]

Coffee and the early mornings "darkness" leads to many pauses...

[Stephany]

Sometimes the reintroduction of a person, or a place, and maybe just a remembrance of a time has power that we are unaware of

[Chris]

...and sometimes we well KNOW that "power" all too well...
