rose-drops

And then, there was rain.
 1
stop-in silence listen,
 2
to the rhythm of this rain, to this
 3
reflection of our skies
 4
these clowdy days,
 5
now finally arise,
 6
                        rose-petals dripping down our noses-rain
 7
                        dripping down
 8
                        dripping,dripping through the skin
 9
                        reaching, reaching, barley touching
 10
                        all the tears we bear within
 11
 
 
Then, there was rain,
 12
erruption of the heart.
 13
too long within us have we born
 14
this force, too long have we let slide
 15
this consciousness we lay aside
 16
pushing, pushing, weighing down,
 17
the walls we've built ourselves inside
 18
dry walls of dry clay-we keep ourselves
 19
caught in endless fear to drown
 20
if these walls ever fall apart.
 21
 
 
And then
 22
             there was rain.
 23
stop-let your heart breathe,
 24
through the rhythm of this rain
 25
and wash away
 26
these crumbling walls
 27
we choose to build ourselves of clay
 28
and wash away
 29
this heaviness which we allow to weigh
 30
down the heart-around the heart, these walls of clay, break open-
 31
listen
 32
       to the rhythm of this rain
 33
see-our reflection in the skies, and let
 34
all that we have born within
 35
now finally arise,
 36
                         rose-petals touch,
 37
the very essence of our inner selves.

thanks

I like the way your perceptions of life and love, although sometimes harsh in reality, are caressed by the warmth of your words. You manage to take the edge off, although the reader still feels the impact intended. Very soulful. Thanku for sharing.
