Today in the rain
I opened my eyes
to the heavy skies.
I whispered your name
and caught you
racing through my brain.

I tried to focus
on your smile
but it kept dissolving
into tiny fragments
of vaporous beauty
freely flowing.

Every single drop of rain
mirrored the most stunning
radiant truth
in its wholeness.
You dance
in every particle of matter
visible and invisible.

I am immersed
in an ocean of love.
I taste this love
it floods me
I feel it
as it fills me
as it spills over
and touches everything
and everyone …

Even you
you who are yet unaware
of being constantly
nourished with the only
single element
that keeps you alive:
Love!

I agree that love can be the reason why we are so vibrantly alive. This was a lovely poem, Margherita. It was positive poetry even in the midst of a rain storm. A metaphor for undying love.

Rain seems to inspire "The Poetess", Margherita. Delightful reading. Hope it rains here soon.

Thank you, dear Ida, for your loving comment. Yes, indeed, rain always inspires me. Tonight the skies roared with thunder ... may rain bless your area soon, all living beings will receive it with gratitude

Wishing you a beautiful week!

Love,

I am fine, dear Toerag, thank you! Es geht mir gut! You shouldn't let pass so much time without visiting! To judge from your very good poem, I would say you have been pondering life. Hope you are doing fine too!

Love is wonderful, and amazing, but it's also very capable of dealing some harsh lessons,
and then it's far less than the word implies.
