Wonder in the rain

In a gentle rain thoughts turned to you
seems so often that they do.. 
walking hand in hand 
our reflection held hands too.

Through puddles we romped and splashed   
as a child of a sudden summer squall
we, protesting youth 
ignoring the wonder in it all.

I sang from a place deep inside, a place of happiness,
but I can't sing, you knew..
my heart didn't care, you didn't show,    
smiling wryly.

Outside your front door, looked at the floor 
our eyes found each other    
they talked without words, 
about puddles left from the stars
those inconsolable stars.

Not venturing out even in rain that is fresh and cleansing is an opportunity lost. great piece from a wise Raven who knows his onions, and how to write better than average poetry. Liked the way each stanza ended with a line that stands out from the crowd. Best regards David in NZ

A beautifully crafted piece, full of youth, desire and love. An innocence that only time will erase. A reminiscent tale. Well done

Romance. Deep feelings, rain, squall. Your poem uses a lot of symbolism that I enjoyed reading. Poem tells the joy of youth.
