Left with moods you cant explain, i think that line can resonate with so many, at some point we all do go through that and feel that way too. Rain some find joy in that, while i find rain melancholic, and i love how you’ve written “ Raindrops grasp my skin, a slight touch As I succumb to the earth's clutch“ how descriptive and how youv rhymed there is brilliant! I absolutely love that! You can nail any form and theme just effortlessly! Pleasure reading this!
