The Rain Effect

The rain outside my door
Its talk, a calming effect
Upon my restless spirit, implores 
the need to reflect.

The rain, drenching the moors
Its pounding upon rocky crests
Like the clapping of hands, soars
Upon the senses, dissolving stress.

The rain inviting me outdoors
Its plead to leave the comfort of concepts
Exchanging the warmth of safe indoors
For the dramatic cold of clarity, intercepts.

The rain, cleansing a downpour 
Its relentlessness stripping the walls erected
Around the damaged heart, explores
Upon new possibilities, wider directed.

The rain, beckoning a force
Its puddles upon my feet impress
With childlike laughter, a dance extorts
Revving the spirit, the genuine soul expressed.

This poem is wonderful Caroline! It goes into my favorite file. I can never get enough of the rain. Two years ago it rained here in Hawaii 41 days straight (which it never does) and I may have been the only one to still be enjoying it. Blessings, Connie

Caroline, you did a wonderful job with this one. I like how you related rain to other "new possibilities" I don't like a rainy day (spent my early childhood in WA, YUCK!!) But I love THIS rain poem. LUv,Andrea
