A Comforting Rain

I heard the sound of e_a_s_y
Raindrops as they fell
In liquid kisses... gentle
This tender nature's bell
There's something so extravagant
In simple drops of rain
Erasing stressful tightness
In a world half gone insane
It sets our pace to e-a-s-y
Then comforts TIME just when
The news screams out with ugly
Dismembered frames of pain
Rain is nature's way of a massage
For the times when life gets bold
When some are scared and hungry
Some orphaned and sleep cold
Rain is nature's kind caress
Her kiss to let us know
No matter what's uncomfortable
For the moment let it go!

Rain poems are my favorite. And this poem is as comforting as, or more than, the subject.

This is an extremely marvellous poem especially for those like me, who live in arid and semi-arid lands where Rain is always a new hope to survive. Even poets in the desert can not describe rain and its soothing effects the way you did it. Thank you Susan. I shall save this one.

Susan, this is another exceptional poem! You seem
to do them so easily! I love your perception of the rain,
I feel the same way;-)

this was everything it set out to, comfort through and through ... we've had sooooooooooo much rain lately, but I'm always surprised by the many forms it can take, including comforting as you have so well described. The other day I was sick in bed with bronchitis, after days and days of fighting it upright, and slept fitfully, on and off, but each time I woke there was this lovely, calming steady downpour. It, more then the sleep, made me feel like I might be getting better. Really enjoyed this. Thank you.

Excellent, Susan. I love watching and listening to a steady rainfall. It is peaceful, soothing, and serene.

Ooh, you penned a soothing one here, Susan. I don't know of anyone who will not admit that he/she likes the rain. Well! There is our staring point, the, for world peace in our time. If everyone likes the sound of raindrops falling it should be easy to get the world leaders together in some sixties' communal throwback and sit there, listen to the rain, and work out their problems in a nice ans slow and tempered way. Just a thought. The bayou is fine thgese days, as a matter of fact it is raining as we speak.
