Rain

Updated: Oct 13





The rain heals

It does 

I’ll tell you

When the world outside crashes and burns

You feel a sense of healing 

Within you

A sense of calm

I’ve found

You’ll learn

It lives and breathes inside of you

Like water resting in a cove

But it’s not resting my dear

Ill tell you

It’s living far beyond what the world knows

It’s like a little breath of a spirit

That’s breathed inside of you 

Appreciation of nature is what it is

Something you can’t forget 

As I hear the distant chirp of birds, fleeting thoughts in vain

Sit in silence dear

And let the silence remain

The wind and water wash over me

Cleansing tides in mind 

Looped in time and caught in vines

Sitting for eternity

I’m in the zone as it were

I’ll tell you

Far beyond awake at night

As I let the sights of the world

Behold in eye of mind

My bleary eyes wait for respite 

But if I can hear the din of nature

Then all is said and done


I whisper on the breeze

Be still my beating heart

Live with ease

For as long as Kingdom comes

For as long as tides may flow

The world remains ever soft dear

Behind fleeting treasured groves


I whisper as the tides beseech me

Croon and drone on as they do

They live alongside walls of comfort

To live and breathe inside of you

For comfort is found

Within walls of pleasure

Sanity ordained

So give me laughter and give me love

Washing over whatever tides remain


I whisper,

Love, hold me fast

As thunder rains and pours

Glittering stars in a navy haze

Clean me clever and clean me close 

Never forget what I say

For love reigns above all

Clearest light in darkest day

As the tides washes all away

Burning embers in darkest gray


Love is fleeting

It’s caustic dear

You’d think it pleasant

Draw near to your fears

But it hurts

Like a lightning storm

Beautiful, but electrifying

Ever mourn

We live and love and laugh and die

On the strings of beleaguered life

And yet we flow like the sands of time

Drifting on seas of wine

Love is a fickle thing

It’s like the thorns of a vine, triggered to spring

It gnaws at your heart, and claims you fast

It sinks its claws deep, too fast to pass

But you let it, don’t you?

For you can’t live without

The heartsickness that awakes you

Seeds of doubt

You can’t live without it

In tides of mind

And we live forever in flowing time


-

On winds of change

The ink does spill

Over all blades of grass

The rain pours over all the fields

The sunshine washes all the pain away

As I awake on brightest clearest day 

The sky is blue but yet it’s also grey, a mix of happiness and sadness one wash away

There’s good in life

Even when

There’s lots of hidden pain

Repressed suppressed but never expressed

Yet theres potential in its entirety

Even when there’s nothing but hate

Lodged deep within like deepslate 

And your brain’s on fire and you just wanna punch it

This poem isn’t elegant

It’s meant to serve a purpose

A function only flourishing from a person dying of thirst

Air out all the pain unspoken

For so long, embedded in the flesh

The words are wounds, cauterized

An emblem of eternal death 


Inferiority is bitter

Like a wound caused by the prickle of a thorn

Poisoned, nothing is fitter

Oh I used to be so happy I used to know Just what to do And what I felt But as time passed Where did that go? I’ve been waiting forever...
