Rain in The Woods [White Noise]

 

A blanket is worth nothing

When you're awake

To the noise

Of rain

In the woods

Beating down against your tent

 

I shiver and sit up

Praying for less frightening

White noise

But it doesn't come

 

And I am stuck

Listening to

Rain

In the woods

Beating down against my tent

 

I am illiterate

I can't remember the last time

My fingers graced a piece of technology

But then I remember

I dont need it

 

Nature is nature

And temperature is certain

So I lay myself back down

 

Against the air mattress

[Listening to that bright white noise]

 

And I open my ears up as my eyes close

[Awakening the peace buried in the woods]

 

Cover my body up with the blanket I have

 

[Survival is a strange thing, isn't it?]

 

And accept the now peaceful noise

That is the rain

In the woods

 

My natural white noise

Reviews

I really like this. The rain goes from being something disturbing to being something of peace. And the journey to finding that peace was well worth the read. This is really good work!

So I take it...it rained when you were camping. XD Well I liked it. :D

I enjoy camping and I enjoy writing so naturally I enjoyed this piece. :) I kind of like the unsettling nature of the rain at first and then the embrace. although I could never understand how someone could not enjoy the sounds of the rain on the tent. I absolutely love it.

I really liked this poem. It tells a really interesting story of taking anger, frustration, unrest and turning it into happiness and peace with such ease. Just a clear thought and remembrance of whats really more important is enough to bring peace of mind. Overall very well written. And oh also, I like the use of the bolt separate writing.
