the rain

today's rain

So I sit by the window 

mug in my hand 

watching the raindrops 

tap the windowpane

Listening to 

the rain's gentle cadence 

as if secrets are 

whispered in each drop

Today, work can wait 

the world can wait 

for now, 

I'd be a silent witness to the rain

Perhaps the rain knows 

what we forget 

that sometimes 

staying still is a blessing

I love the rain, so this poem. I like the way you describe your experience witnessing it. Raindrops, the whispers and the wait. All so magical. These lines were standout for me,
Today, work can wait
the world can wait
for now,
I'd be a silent witness to the rain
Thanks for sharing this write.

and we don't stay still often enough...I like the idea of the rain whispering reminders.
