I decided to do an experement. Sometimes I listen to a song, and it inspires me to write poetry. I decided to play a whole bunch of defferent songs. I didn't pay attention to the lyrics, and for each song I wrote a small poem about rain. Then I added them all together to get this.

Rain drizzles,
falling from the sky
standing in the wind
music to my ears
I live for the rain

rain is a rhthem,
I feel like dancing,
I feel like singing,
Rain pours down,
music to my ears
I live for the rain

Staring out the window,
Watching the rain pound the trees,
beat the ground,
slide down the roof,
music to my ears
I live for the rain


Thinking of my troubles,
lying on my back,
staring at the sky,
I hear thunder,
echo's my fears
music to my ears
I live for the rain

Remembering,
twirling in circles as a child,
sticking out my tounge,
full of memories
music to my ears
I live for the rain

Dancing, with friends
to that old swingin' music
raining outside,
Living inside,
music to my ears
I live for the rain

Crying,
the sky crys,
mimicks my tears,
I imagine the salt,
Listen to the rythem, to the thundar
music to my ears
I live for the rain

Lights blaze around me,
Towering buildings,
no nature
I call for the rain
hits the towers
music to my ears
I live for the rain

happiness, sunshine is here,
days of fun,
rain takes it all away,
still love it
music to my ears
I live for the rain

Missing,
home's so far away,
clouds fill the sky,
let out the memories,
rain falls
music to my ears
I live for the rain

"Sticks and stones will break my bones,
But words will break my heart"

(smiles) Oh Liz, I love this experiment, sweet friend, I love all kinds of music, Shakira is my favorite artist just as I love classic rock like Led Zeppelin, John Melencamp and Bob Dylan, to more modern like Counting Crows, David Gray, U2, and R.E.M, and a whole bunch of Latin music! (sigh) I could hea rthe rain singing in your words, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Liz, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
