Deep In The Rain Poem by Nika McGuin

Deep In The Rain

Rating: 5.0


I know the answer
lies deep in the rain
though at times it may seem sad
that it's raining so hard
but raindrops cleanse all
washing away dirt debris and pain

When the downpour begins
it can be hard to find direction
stuck in the fog and mist of the storm
wrapped and blanketed in confusion
but once you step out of it
glancing through your bedroom window
suddenly, you can see things clearly

Yes, the answer lies deep in the rain
and in its aftermath; it takes away
that which is unnecessary
however attached you may be to it
but it also gives life, hope,
and strews rainbows across the sky

After several weeks of dry weather, the rain returned today. Tomorrow everything will seem fresher than ever and the flowers will shake the raindrops off their heads and there'll be another spurt of growing. Yes, I like the rain and your poem too. It refreshes the soul, Nika.
