Dancing In The Rain

a challenge from Sandy Beaches

  

Little droplets cascade softly to the ground

Like musical notes from heaven’s violin,

I take your hand guiding you to

This lovely serenade falling all around us.

 

Let the world think we are crazy

For letting nature soak drench our skin,

They are the fools missing out on feeling

The purest emotions mother earth gives us.

 

Under the silver lining in the sky

We dance across cloud nine in style

Striding across a rainbow without the sun

Lifting us above what darkens passion.

 

Dancing till the last raindrop

Cleanses the scars around our hearts

Washing away the dirt of past hurt,

Nurturing the seed of tomorrow’s spring.

Beautiful! I could feel myself dancing in the raindrops as I read it.

"Little droplets cascade softly to the ground

Like musical notes from heaven's violin,

This is exquisite! I swear you're really coming into your own in poetry!

KUDO'S!!!

A very beautiful rain poem. I can just feel the rain washing away all life's hurts and pains. Rain is the stuff of live, life can't exist without it, and it is cleansing as well. Love this!

This is amazing! I love it, I could picture it in my head! Great job! It was very refreshing from a lot of the sad, and dark poems on here! It was wistful, and beautiful!! Great write!

Would you mind reviewing my work?

Ohhhh Dale. Love this so very much and believe every word of it. I go walking with an old neighbour and sometimes my friends will say "oh you won't be going out walking today...look at the rain"...and I say "Exactly...just look at the rain....of course I'm going". After my 5 mile walk in the rain....the feeling is exhilerating, refreshing and it brings with it a calmness. Thanks for this...straight to favs.

Oh how romantic...
who doesn't dream of this enchanting moment you have written for us?

[LisetteCanWrite!]

Ah.. there is nothing quite like the feel of rain on one's skin.. letting you know you are sooo alive. This paints such a nice image of a soul ..with nothing else at that moment mattering.. cleansing all the impurites and letting go of standards I felt.. as a metaphor.. let the world think we are crazy.. who cares? If you can't live life as yourself.. and be free to feel nature at her best and worst then what have you got at the end of each day! Loved the flow of emotions and hidden meanings this has embedded.. and if only everyone could feel that sense of freedom for just 10 minutes each week.. such therapy can be found in this! Soft or hard, warm or cold.. rain is much like life itself.. it renews itself and everything it touches.. there is alot more here if you really read and feel the meaning.. that is what it brought to me! Letting daily pressures go.. to allow nature to take it's course is sometimes hard for many to do.. yet that very rain is needed to replenish the earth and all living things.. not something to fight but embrace... whether falling from the skies or running down your cheeks. Thank you for sharing! =)

[Lyrical Love]

I love the rain!!!
So of course-as usual I loved this!
I love walking in the rain...
I think that the soothing sound of the rain
touches all the senses.
My favorite verse of this piece is...
Little droplets cascade softly to the ground

Like musical notes from heaven's violin,

I take your hand guiding you to

This lovely serenade falling all around us.

I love how your heart continues to bleed through your pen.

This is genuinely a great piece of writing.
I loved the way your words are flowing as if you wrote this poem not from your hands but from your heart...
The visualization is just perfect and you know! a lot of people these days often over do it, but you have maintained it so well which jeweled your words.
I loved the starting lines a lot -
Little droplets cascade softly to the ground
Like musical notes from heaven's violin, - They set just the perfect mood with the beautiful imagery and the reference of "Heaven's violin" forced me to flow with its marvelous imagery!

"The purest emotions mother earth gives us." This is a very deep and thoughtful line and we all can relate ourselves somehow with it...

The poem ended beautifully with a hope to start and to relive your dreams again describing the viscous cycle of this life.

Dancing till the last raindrop
Cleanses the scars around our hearts
Washing away the dirt of past hurt,
Nurturing the seed of tomorrow's spring. - "Rain" definitely acted as a metaphor is these lines, serving as a relief of pain and suffering, qualifying all the scars of life and embedding the seeds of new life and hope....


Indeed a great piece of writing it is.... Beautifully penned!
