Poem Title:
Poem
Rainy Summer's Eve I step out from my sanctuary Into the stillness of a night so fair As I walk, I feel a gentle breeze Making the leaves dance in the air I follow this path, I walk many times So familiar, that lay before me A gentle rain begins to fall so softly That each droplet it seems, I see My steps, though steady and determined Do not hurry, nor do they slow down Each drop of rain, increases in intensity Stirring, awakening the dry still ground I raise my collar, the hood of my coat To cover and ward off the rain, my shield Perhaps all this a simple expectation Of some torrent of rainfall that may yield I listen to the rhythmic beat of the rain Upon the shroud above my head I stop and listen to the soothing sound And close my eyes, thoughts unsaid I feel a chill, though I don't feel the cold Somehow feeling warmth inside I notice the droplets fall from my hood These memories in me that reside I stop and stand still in this gentle rain Noting every droplet upon my brow Feeling this strange serenity, come over me Soothing my body and soul, somehow That I should take pause in this moment While others run to seek shelter, refuge Finding a blessing, that has been gifted In all storms and memories, a deluge How I do love a warm summers rain Quiets my racing mind, once again Where I find all my serenity reins Where no pain and sorrow remains
