The Spring evening is merciful,
and along comes the Rain
The drops fall very gently at first
then batters away at the stain.
Sounds so soothing deep in my soul
erasing the woe of the times
I now drift back most willingly,
back to the arms of the pines.
Here I dream, but not in sleep
while the current raises a sigh -
As pleasant visions fill my head,
I think I shall lay down and cry.
Thunder impassions the wind in the trees,
Behold the power of God
Lightening as sharp as a double edge sword
severs the trails I have trod.
Here I am back home once more,
and I am easy and slow -
I invite the Rain when it comes,
for with the Rain I go . . .

this is wonderful writing...
the imagery and cadence are most impressive.
this was a pleasure to read aloud.
The rain analogies worked perfectly to portray the depth of the emotions.
Welcome to Poetry Land ... I will have to watch for more of your work.
Nice to meet you Midnight Writer
