PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Streetlights glisten in the pouring rain

Drip drop, the sound makes us insane

Stuck inside where all is dry

Looking out the window and wondering why

We can’t just go outside and give it a try

So we open the door and feel the cold wind

Rush through our lungs and give life to our skin

Put one foot out the door and soon to follow

Our entire bodies the clouds begin to swallow

Drenched deep into our bones we feel the water

Makes our blood colder, but our spirit hotter

There’s no room for apathy underneath the sky

Something that not even the dead can deny

for we all become human during the storm

it is true the soul can never grow where it’s warm

The sun blocked out by a grey dreary blanket

Makes us forget about the day for just a minute

Run back inside before we drown

Standing, dripping, with everyone around

It’s something they will never realize

That all it takes is rain to feel alive
