Tommorow Will Be Here To Soon....

The rain felt so cold upon the skin,
The storm warmed the air with it’s bright light show,
I never thought such chaos could bring such comfort.
To take every drop as a meaning of life,
Hundreds of meaning conveyed into a single solitary piece,
One thing that defines it all,
A simple word to be demonstrated by the turmoil,
Whole,
The word whole which takes up all,
This is life.
Life is whole.

The storm takes each drop and places it upon an object,
Signifying a new life or a new event,
Something so minute to something extravagant,
Who knows what events it speaks of?
The storm talks to me and blends me in.
I watched a single drop start from the cloud,
On it’s way down it encounters nothing,
No wind gusts move it,
No object impedes it.
Nothing stands in its way.
Is this a metaphor of sorts?
The way life should be?
It hits the ground and spreads and explodes,
Thousands more start their same journey,
Giving life to the ground,
Giving life to the life.
The storm spoke to me,
It gave wholeness to whole.

Reasons for me to watch this storm never came so true to me before,
I sat at the ledge for hours wondering,
From the current to the past,
The words to which I place today,
All from that solitary night,
The night the storm was no longer a threat,
But simply a way of inspiration,
I sat at the ledge for hours as it thundered on,
There had never been such a sunset at dawn,
The light from the sky above converts,
Giving me awakening,
Giving the world a reckoning,
Recollections of what I thought over the night pass through my mind,
I sit and wonder how could a storm intrigue and provoke so well,
Last night I spoke to a storm,
It told me what I had to do,
It demonstrated why I’m one of a few.
The chaos and plunder to which it decides to cause,
Simply to help those strive on and to test will.
The storm told me to do the same,
It said it would be back and do the same,
I stared at its presence,
Massive and mighty,
But beautiful and serene,
The storm said I should mimic it,
And I shall,
I will try to keep my soul beautiful and serene,
And my presence Massive and Mighty
For their can only be one whole.

For some reason, this reminds me of a warrior going to prepare for his last battle. like it's his defining moment in life, and there he is with nothing more than his sword or weapon of choice, and the rain. This was a dope ass concept, makes me wanna write one damn near just like it...Thanx for sweepin through the realm man...good to see ya hear...

Xero said it too well.

I wrote alot of poems in the middle of a storm. It's just something so soothing to a person...atleast for me. And I felt that in this piece. Good to see you back again.

I liked the title of this. You definetely have a flair for seeing an unusual side of a situation. Like the little unnoticed things that when brought to life give a landscape or a raindrop an extra dimension, or multiple dimensions.

I watched a single drop start from the cloud,
On it’s way down it encounters nothing,
No wind gusts move it,
No object impedes it.
Nothing stands in its way.

This is a good example of what I mean. You took something as simple as a raindrop and observed it in a way that is definetely uncommon and this to me is where a poet lives. On the side of ordinary things that can be made less ordinary and take on more of a life.

I enjoyed this, thanks for sharing.

This was nice...to be perfectly honest, i didnt comprehend some of it, but then again im tired and didnt really feel like reading it, im just forcing myself to reply on a bunch, if nothing else though it sounded like you knew what you were talking about and it had some advanced meaning behind it
