Rain

I sit in the deep shadows

Thinking,

Thinking of the past, my future

And my heart

Pitter patter

Drip drop

The sounds of water dripping

Falling

Flowing down out of the sky

Makes me break out of my Depressed thoughts

I decided to go outside

It just might help

I walk over to the door to glance out

No lightning; no thunder, just peace

I walk out

Like the rhythmic dropping hypnotized me

The first drop of rain that hits me

Feels so gentle, like a kiss

It's cold, your warm in a sense

Then it reminds me of memories

Memories I wish to forget

I began to cry

But yet it is uplifting

The tears you can't see

For the rain hides them

My mind goes blank

I don't really care anymore

I lie down in the cool dampen grass

And for some reason I lose myself

I guess that is what rain is supposed to do

I love the rain too.

There is a good transition in this piece where it's almost like the rain holds us back from going outside, but by taking the step to lose ourselves, we are freed. :)

Tears are lost in the rain as it washes clear our unwanted memories. God is in the rain drop and he loves us all. Tom

Splendid onomatopeia....I could almost hear the rain dropping. You truly touch on all the senses. The warmth, the coolness, the sounds, the sights. Yes, rain can be cleansing and help us express emotions. There is a feeling of serenity at the end of this poem. I really enjoyed it. Lydi**
