I Live off grid and I praise the rain




rain

oh glorious rain

I stand in you

and almost freeze


I feel a thousand different feelings

as you pour down on me

and wash me clean


of the ordinary

of the pain of conformity


as you release me

from the false idea of safety

from the prison of society


you take me back

and let me remember

the origins of humanity

before comfort could cause us pain

you forbid me to complain


oh rain

unending rain

shower me with the hope

of beginning again.

Yes! Very well-expressed, meaningful to me for sure. I love the rain when it falls benevolently. Check out the link if you wish and you will see what I mean. Blessings of love and peace to you, Pierre,

Regis. 🙏🌳🌲🦉🦋

Rain is part of life. But it seems like the only time we embrace it freely is when we are children. I think your poem is a metaphor for exposing yourself and letting that exposure clean you to the point where you can easily start over.

Excellent poem with an excellent message. We all should have the innocence of childhood back again.

I like where you take the reader with this symbolic image of the raihn. I lived for many years in desert areas in the Middle East and so have come to appreciate rain, which there is considered a blessing. A rainy day is a "good day". Fine poem.

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
