Analysis of Rejuvenating rains



Feeling lost
I close my eyes
And breathe in
The coming storm

Gentle rhythm
Inner drops
To freefalls acceptance
Through darkening skies

Liquid grace amid liquid softs
Caressing tears
Crying camouflaged
Upon my somber face

The thunder claps
As epiphanies echo
Out an essence loose

And spirits
Are free
To fly at last

Of sorrows, washing ways
And souls be cleansed
Soaking up
Rejuvenating rains

Nighttiger

A fortyish native born all American man. Married twice and for the last time. I have four children; Three daughters and one son that are all over the age of eighteen. I also have two grandchildren; one three years old and one nine months old. Inspired by God, tragedy, life's experiences and then a fairy tale love. I never intentionally set out to write poetry, but "She" inspired me. "She" meaning the love of my life. That love is a passion that after thirteen years still grows stronger each and every day. It eventually had to be put into writing. As I wrote poetry to her, she encouraged me to approach other subjects. Doing so brought me to discover that poetry could wash away the bitter tastes of life (suicide, cancer, and divorce) that were still living like demons inside me. So when poetic therapy brought those impish fiends to a stalemate, I began to experiment more. Creating fictional characters and situations within my works. The support of this online community has inspired me even further to continue to hone my writing skills giving the readers the best that I can offer. Thanks to all you out there in Lulu land. more…
