From_Now_On Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I try so hard to find my words I just want to get it right And all I mean to say is I love the rain at night The way the lightning lights the sky The way the thunder booms The way my tin roof amplifies the noise And the thunder shakes the rooms I lay in bed late at night When everything is dark and quiet I love the way it feels so much And if you haven't, try it I love to go outside at night Just to walk out in the rain It feels cool and clean on my skin The way a shower could only feign It might seem strange to most people But it's an obsession I'll never shake Cuz' when I'm dancing beneath a glittering sky Nothing there is fake It's just me and the rain And the wind, and the sky The thunder, the lightning And I feel so alive It's chaotic, it's poetic It's the epitome of life It's comforting, it's scary Somehow it feels so right It's the only time I truly know Exactly who I am, and what is real Cuz it's then that it hits me All that matters is what I feel And I feel as though I'm falling Falling in love Because rain is love--Devotion, emotion Mistakes washed away Rain is happiness And sadness And knowing you'll be okay Rain is crying And laughing Both at once, together Rain is living And dying Not just non-sunny weather Rain is beauty, and messy And not something everyone can understand Or adore Like the difficult parts of life That make the beautiful parts Mean so much more So here I am again Seeing myself in puddles that mirror my face And it's only these moments in life That I don't want to turn away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serve_the_people Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 When I was really young, I used to believe that when it was raining, God and all my dead ancestors in heaven were taking showers.... my most romantic fantasy to salsa dance with a girl on a beach in the rain.....

ShySoul Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 That was sweet. I also love the rain. It's chaotic and beautiful all at once. So much meaning behind it. And since its been raining on and off for days around here, the poem made me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract_Witch Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 It's chaotic and beautiful all at once. I love that statement; it shows the humane side of a person. We all secretly desire that of which is wild and rugged, even if it is viewed as "uncivilized." What is a "civil" being without knowing what an "uncivil" being is?

We all secretly desire that of which is wild and rugged, even if it is viewed as "uncivilized." What is a "civil" being without knowing what an "uncivil" being is? What is day without night, good without evil, light without darkness? Opposites give each other meaning. One without the other doesn't make sense.
