Drops of Life

 

I like the rain.

For in it no one can see me cry.

Or the caused pain that haunts

Me everyday.

Taunting me to crack,

To break and  die.

I like the rain.

It does not judge.

It listens every day,

to what every person feels.

It listens to what every person

thinks and when they breathe

and what they have to say.

I like the rain.

It allows dancing with no rules.

To run with no breaks.

To embrace with passion.

To kiss with no fear.

To hold those so far, yet so near.

I like the rain.

The washing away of all lost souls and renewal of them.

The newly budded flowers so eagerly ready to bloom.

Ready to taste life.

 

I like the rain.

What freedom.

In her Author's Note, the writer has been too modest, perhaps? This is simply lovely, with various references to a principle which is close to my heart. And, that is the concept of "freedom"! We neglect it, at our peril. In terms of weaknesses, it could have a better rhyme scheme? Even so, the flow is quite smooth, and there is no unintended ambiguity. This is certainly a poem worth sharing with others, and another worthy entry in my Contest, "FREE SPIRITS"!

Thankyou, lindsay!

I really liked this poem. I found it a little awkward at times ("but listen it does every day" maybe rephrasing that would make it more powerful) but overall I liked the ideas and your straightforward style. Good job.
