The Resonance of Tears
Today the rain has been nonstop
The skies have been cloudy and gray
My heart beats with each raindrop
While my mild thoughts go astray
I relish in the sound of the storm
It’s a distant echo from the past
And though my skin is warm
A shiver comes to me very fast
Oh dear memory, why do you insist
In remembering certain drizzly days?
The resonance of tears in the mist
When pouring rain washed my face
Each droplet decorating my window
Is a reminder of the person I once knew
My old self wasted time is now lost in limbo
But remembering him makes me kind of blue

bk, thank you for commenting. Remembering days of youth will certainly make us nostalgic, but lessons had to be learned.

I feel this piece, down to my core. It's viscerally potent and extremely familiar. Resonating loud, like an echo in a cave.

Thanks so much blue and for adding to your Reading List as well. I think we all have those rainy days when remembering times makes us nostalgic and blue. Good thing the rain doesn't last too long.
