The rhythm of the rain can also stir a spiritual rhythm in the soul.

 The Rhythm of the Rain…

 

The rain has a soothing rhythm as is peppers the roof

Your anxieties and stress of the day become aloof

It hypnotizes the thoughts and tranquilizes the mind

Tonight the future seems so distant and mimed

Analogy or presumption would only interfere

This time is yours and much too dear

Self-preservation can rejuvenate the soul

A little spiritual meditation can fill the hole

Enjoy the peaceful rhythm of the rain

A new insight to your inner-self, you must gain

The stages of life are ever changing

You must find a common ground instead of rearranging

Feelings and emotions to fit circumstances and needs

Take the time to reacquaint yourself with the creed

The next time the rain confines you to an evening inside

An open heart will allow the spirit to guide

To love others must start with you

Only then will you know a love that is true

This can be conceived as a challenge…or a test

To be self-assured and to have a sound peace of mind…is the ultimate quest!

I love the song of the rain on the roof or elsewhere. Your title reminds me of the Cascades' song hit, "Rhythm of the Falling Rain. Thank you, Karen. Love and best wishes,

As your home so eloquently points out, a period of rain can be helpful in rearranging your priorities for the day. It's too bad we don't have tin roofs anymore.

This is so true, we must love our-self first...
This in all of this is the key... and if the rain
with it's pitter and patter can take you to this place
to see yourself in a meditative knowing you are on the right
road...

Wisdom and knowing...

Love and Light

Since it is raining where I sit this morning, the poem has a more persona; meaning. I quite agree that without loving yourself you can never give all of yourself to the one you profess you love. It took me a long, long time to understand that concept.

When truly in love the soul is reborn......clean like the leaves on the trees after the rain.......full and quenched!

Love ya!
