In this poem, I hope to have captured the purity and redeeming qualities which we tend to associate with rain and the ocean waves. Perhaps also, I have suggested that rain can be a means of escape from the cruel world?
Beautiful!!! I couldnt agree more with your train of thought concerning the cleansing quality of water. It is a resource we completely take for granted, I know there are those who despise rain, but I'm not one of them.
Your prose is tight with clearly defined content.
Loved it...and welcome to the cafe' :-)

Among my favorite things are: the smell of fresh-cut grass and spring onions, the silence of new-fallen snow and how it makes everything new, the aftercalm of a thunderstorm, and the freshness that lingers after a spring shower.
There is, indeed, a cleansing and a purity that comes from the rain. I personally love it and welcome it whenever it arrives.
Very pretty - the first stanza in particular. I like the idea of the rain cleansing you of your fears, and, in doing so, keeping you safe. (: Any particular reason every word is capitilized? o_O Just wondering, because it was a little distracting... regardless, great poem. :)
Don't we all wish to escape, which makes us the writers
we are today..escaping in our own world, our own time.
This poem reflects that as well, a plea so to speak. AD
Oh Rain Please Come And Cleanse My Soul!
My Mind And Body,
From Top To Toe,
Of Some Tall Wave,
I Still Seek,
Without Which,
My Heart It Weeps.

Beautifully written, I feel as if I am in the garden surrounded by the Devil and his Advocates. I don't often enjoy poems with biblical references, but the words you chose and how you put the pieces together is so subtle. I read 'My Rain' four times before I truly saw the imagery and meaning hidden in the lines. It is the first time in years that I read something that I truly enjoyed enough to take it apart and try to find the deeper meaning.
Bravo!
