Rain in the night


Raindrops play
at the window
like wild drummers.
The rhythm
stirs my senses
bidding for admission
into my mind,
busy with chatter
and clatter.
Magnetized I let
the sound
expand
within my heart
turning into a
tambourine.

Drawn to explore
my core
I sink into my center
where there is only
this sound of the rain
meeting my breath.
Laughter and tears
joy and sorrow
right and wrong
dance hand in hand
through the night
at the rhythm
of the rain.
And gold is filtered out
by the countless
rivulets
of tears.

And then I step
out of myself
merging with the night
merging with the rain
following the
throbbing invitation
to travel along
the sound waves
of my soul ...
to meet you.

Now
I am the night
I am the light
I am the rain
I touch the infinite
within the sound
of my breath
mingled with
the drumming
drops of rain.
What a gift
this night
this rain
this peace of mind
this tune of love
this sacred
crystal essence
... of you.

This is beautiful Margherita.
The way your words have formed like raindrops cascading down a pane of blue glass. Keepin' this!!

Margherita, I stand in awe of your inner and outer cosmic visions and of your poetic beauty. I could read you into forevermore. You write as I feel, and think, and see ~ and aspire...

My favorite lines of this song.....

(smiles) Awwwwwww, this is just too cute and romantic, sweet friend, such innocent love and spirit fills this enchanting write, yay! (angel friendship hugs) Normally I don't quite enjoy standing out in the rain alone, but I can't imagine a kiss more romantic and sensual than one in the summer rain, with soft hair and lips soused in joy, one I dream so much to have, yay! God Bless You, sweet friend, this is beautiful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Margherita, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

To lay in bed and listen to the sound of the rain on the window is like good medicine to an illness.  Liked the imagery in this.

Gosh, I have missed reading you, no wonder I have felt out of sorts, you bring me back to Earth.

I am the night
I am the light

Raindrops play
at the window
like wild drummers.
The rhythm
stirs my senses
bidding for admission


the entire poem was poetic magnificance, but this was my favorite.  From beginning to end, could feel the rain...
