O, the sound of rain
to lose myself in its tune
time and time again
without truly being lost.
To close eyes
seek the spirit within
then
see with clarity
Focused
no stranger to those depths
anymore.
If it were the last time
to see
sunrise
sunset
and all which lies
between
would we know that
each moment is this moment
now
Life is always as it was
not as it is
moment by moment
disappearing
touching beauty as it flows
through a gate of dreams
into shadows of time.

This one makes me think. I like the dreamy feel and the insight into reality.
Like the cat picture too, the way it’s fascinated by the rain drops as they slide down the window pane. I feel that way, fascinated by your words as I read down.
you know you had me at rain and sealed it with moment by moment 🙂
Living in the moment is hard when one tends to refer to the past to blame the present. I am constantly trying to be in the moment, but yeah, bad habits of the mind.
Enjoyed this, thanks for the reminder. 🙂
Beautiful and true; the last stanza is a gem.
There’s something about this. Something hazy, abstract that pleases me to no end.
I also really like the verse layout.
Great work here.
The moment now is truly precious…enjoyed the reflective write ~
Its all about this moment, right here, right now …
Oh yes, Daydreamer, we have to savor each moment; even the moments of raindrops.
Beautiful, dreamy quality to this piece. Your last stanza is stunning!
seeking beauty in the passing drops of rain is so imaginative, nice write 🙂
lovely poem… I do love the sound of rain.. I often dream out my window to those drops of wonder
i believe that life is but moments. and i spent this moment reading your beautiful poem and I am happy. truly lovely work as always.

That is a beautiful sound! Great write.
Now rain I don’t mind, unless it tries to drown my little behind. At first I thought the picture was side ways and then I looked harder and saw the cat’s head was just that way..haha
This is reads so beautifully….mesmerizing.
nice… dreamy.. i can get lost in the sound of raindrops so easily as well.. and yes.. we should learn to live more in the moment.. thanks for the reminder..
