Clouds go by as I look to the sky
Freezes me in the in-between
Busy with life’s comings and goings
Not pausing to see
Not ever wondering why
Time still remains for all just the same
Can’t forget the last dream
In which I had my peace of mind
Don’t know what a day like today means
Suddenly I remember her name
And it starts pouring rain

Everyone should sometimes come undone
And let that feeling flow through
The most peaceful time of day
What wonders solitude can do
Just letting the raindrops come
I have no shame watching the rain
Nothing will ever satisfy me
The way I am with opened mind
A spirit finally set free
Suddenly I forget her name
And it keeps pouring rain

Jerry,

I agree with Bill - this is among your best pieces of poetry that I have read. I like it and saved it. Thank you for sharing.

Yes, this is excellent in content and poetic rendering, dear Jerry.

Rain does bring me peace too, some kind of fusion takes place ... after all we are mostly made of water! And it makes us feel the oneness with All there is.

Love,
Margherita
