Falling rain
Each drop free falling faster than the next
The sound of a million needles splashing on my skin
Tiny droplets reverb in the background
A lonely melody emerges
Puddles of lost voices begin to sing
Their faint voices, distant
Burrow deep inside and stay with me
And I’m certain
There will never be a storm like this again
But I will always hear this song
Whenever it rains

There is rhythm in the rain. Depending on your mood, the song it sings can be exhilarating or downtrodden. I love how you’ve created a tangibility to the rain; the needles on skin. The drops reverbing and puddles of lost voices call out to the loneliness of the rain’s song. Beautifully executed with much sadness. Hope there’s a rainbow after this bitter storm. 🌈💗

Thanks, Rose! Your comments are always so thoughtful. Rain can bring out so many different emotions. A few days ago, it rained while the sun was shining and I thought about hope and redemption. Later in the early morning hours, it rained so hard it woke me up. It was still dark and it had a lonely feel to it. So different from the liquid sunshine I had felt earlier. It was interesting to see two completely different sides of rain in such a short timespan. Thanks again for your comments! I always enjoy and appreciate them!
