The Shadows of the Rain

The Shadows of the Rain To smile in the shadows of the rain; As they enter as if passing through Rooms familiar where they laughed and loved (and cried); They mingled spirit to spirit Without numbers of days; Where table after table filled the heart; Where they met and blended only to part; They took their lessons into the world of other souls Where evening’s lights glow defining The shadows of the rain. In a whisper of a million words, In perfect design or misshapen; Fluttering pictures before a sitting solitary, Drifting among the shadows of the rain. Sun1ite 2/22/18 Looking out sliding windows on A rainy twilight when the mists form nostalgic shadows.

I really liked the lines "They took their lessons into the world of other souls," and "in a whisper of a million words," I am picturing spirit here. Nicely written.

Wow this is deep, I found it sad, rather than happy... This would have been perfect for my contest.. I liked the use of vowels in this (assonance), I feel it gave the poem depth and the slower sound to it made it a lot more emotive...

So far I don't do contests - my ego couldn't take the rejection LOL. I'm glad you liked this, and I do appreciate constructive comments like yours.
