Raindrops In The Night

Raindrops In The Night

What a reminder of life

Those raindrops falling loudly in the night

When lying alone in the quiet and black

They reinforce the earth’s perpetual motion -

Life goes on when all around seems dark and still.

Tiny and insignificant one by one

But collectively they are a mighty force by day

Holding the potential to wield destruction

To extinguish hope and lives in a flash -

They merely await their orders from above.

And yet such comfort and ease

Provided in the haze of tender darkness.

Shelter and warmth insulate from danger

From the realities of what lies beyond the door -

Where lovers huddle and fear the night.

Hear the ceaseless pitter-patter

Let it soothe you into gentle slumber.

Forget your sorrows and regrets this night

They will still remain come rising sun -

For the rain can never wash them away.

Wow, I loved the feeling and emotions brought up from reading this. And ironic how at times, one can slumber at the sound of raindrops, yet at the same time fear thunderstorms that can come raging with wind and lightning all at once. Well written.

Your writing has a delicate touch and it really is a pleasure to take part in. As the lines go by you feel like you're standing in the rain. Tranquil with a soothing flow.
