So lovely..."Peace within the rain," evoked for me happy memories...when I felt protected by the gentle drops that fell. Thank you for your poem...it touched my heart.
I have always loved going for a walk in a warm gentle rain. I might have trouble getting out of wet clothes afterwards, but the walks are always peaceful. This was an enjoyable read.
I think you need to have a metal awning constructed. And then, on rainy days invite your grandchildren over to play in the rain in your yard a while and then come close to sit in your lap while you tell them stories about how it used to be when you were with your Nan. Unfortunately they will have to put down their smartphones while you do this.
If you don't have a yard or grandchildren like me, I apologize in advance. ;-)
I agree, Diana; I have always loved gentle rain. I love its song on the roof, for example. I love the flow of your poem (rhyme and rhythm). Thank you for sharing this gift. Love and best wishes,
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
Dear readers, this is my third book of poems, and inside are a special collection of what have turned out to be not only MY personal favorites, but also the favorites of many of YOU. Some of these have never been available in print before...
