Witnessing Rain

Witnessing Rain

A Chapter by Karli
"

My lyric poem for English class!

"

I gaze out the window, witnessing rain.

The silver drops inviting, I desire to go out.

Clear water hits the weak window panes,

I savor the moment, an end to this drought.

I do recall now, the feel of the rain,

the clear puddles out in the streets.

I'm not much for dancing, but this is my gain,

the rain I shall meet.

So I tiptoe to the door,

venture out into the life.

The porch my only shore,

the coldness my new strife.

The trees are fresh, dancing in the wind.

I feel playful deep inside,

for the first time that night, I grinned,

for the first time that night, I cried.

Emotions run high, as I pace through the storm,

my overwhelming life lets loose,

this flawless night, I dance til I'm worn.

This perfect night, I use.

I'm sent into the deepest trance.

Louder, mightier, the storm bellows,

I allow myself to leap.

The wind and rain play music like a cello,

otherwise, I do not hear a peep.

I dance around, twirling away,

my feet march to their own beat.

This is a wondrous night,

as the Earth and water meet.

The dark-as-night sky lights,

fire bolts striking all around.

I listen in the night,

To thunder's lion-roaring sound.

I'm wonderstruck, stranded in the center,

don't try to rescue me,

for I'm the rejecter.

The rain quiets down,

I trudge my way home.

My thoughts make no sound,

for my soul was able to roam.

I sit at home...

watching the ending.

I gaze out the window, witnessing rain.
