I sit by the bedside table, hands tapping above the desk. The room is dark except for the faint light creeping from under the door. It’s 2 AM yet my heart and mind are still debating, “Should I ask you again?”

I look at my phone thinking maybe you’ll change your mind. Maybe you’ll remember the laughter.  Maybe you’ll remember the stories that we shared together in those five years. Maybe you’ll remember our small fights that turn to cuddles at night. Maybe you’ll remember the places we’ve been into and the places we wanted to go. Maybe you’ll remember me.

Rain, Rain

~ thereluctantpoet

Please Welcome a new Friend – Maria of Doodles and Scribbles, here is Her beautiful poem Rain, Rain. This is such a masterful weaving of words that blends the imagery of the forest and the stillness of the mind as it remembers amid a cumulous of rage while remaining unperturbed. Come walk with Maria through this lovely poem and be – “drenched in the stillness of remembering”!

This is the first helping of Maria’s work today. Please enjoy and get ready for a second serving!

The forest is still, not a single bird chirping
And the summer sky is a cumulous of rage
I am drenched in the stillness of remembering
Of what I have lost, of what I still have
But in the midst of the surrounding clamor
The pitter patter and the wind’s howl
My heart remains still— unperturbed, relaxed
Like the eye of a tornado devoid of wrath
