The rain pours down in sheets upon my windowpane… The stars are hiding, trying to keep dry… And someone took the moon up to a drier plane… Tonight we’re here alone, the rain and I… I’ve always thought that rain had such a peaceful sound… Especially on those nights when thoughts run deep… To lie and listen is a pastime I have found helps ease my troubled soul into it’s sleep… Listening to the rain fall down above my head, just floods my mind with memories of lost youth… And as I lie here nestled in my lonely bed, it’s hard to tell the daydreams, from the truth… Soon my thoughts have softened, sleep has numbed my brain… As I succumb to dreams that lie in store… Another night that I’ve been lulled by falling rain… and rocked within it’s cradle as it pours… Write on! -<--<--{(@ |

Surely a gentle rain can do as much to soothe the weary soul. Lovely images! |

Yes, we're supposed to have a cold rain here in Indiana any day, this will help! What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |

Good morning, Bill...... Yes......the rain does fall down upon the windowpanes of the heart, but it also washes away the lingering dust of hurt and pain, and with it comes a brand new fresh start! Thank you, Bill... Hi Interloper...... I see that you know that song, too!! I spend a lot of time listening to the rain, but today we are blessed with sunshine!! Thank you for stopping by! Hi Victoria...... I love that lullaby, too. It puts me in a slumber mood, and my dreams are usually happy ones when it's raining outside. Thank you for joining me here!! Write on! -<--<--{(@ |

Hi Irish Rose.....(you snuck in on me!!) Well, I guess it is the time of year for Mother Nature to wash things down. I used to visit Indiana every summer when my Grandparents were living in Evansville. It is quite a beautiful state. Good to see you today........ Write on! -<--<--{(@ |

Oh Sunny ... you've captured this so beautifully. I too enjoy the rhythmic sound of the rain ... it takes my mind to lovely places, and eventually to slumber. Very much enjoyed this! Best wishes, /Kit |

Hi Kit.... Ahhhh......another rain-person!! Yes, I love to close my eyes and let the sound overtake my weary head at the end of the day. Sometimes I dream of being in a tropical place, where the rain is warm...here in Alaska it's not that warm, although I live in the heart of a tropical rainforest!! Ha!! Thank you for coming by to read and for your nice reply, my friend!! Write on! -<--<--{(@ |

Yeppers, seen as only my sister can see. What a wonderful piece from you my sweet sister and I am so very happy that I found this treasure of yours. Sounds as if that is a trait that runs in the family. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |
