Rain

Embraced by the storm, held in the arms of rain

Clouded walls warm, secure and guard my domain

Its darkness shelters my fragile shell

With blanketing fog that conceals so well

Wrapped in rolling velvet mist

By a sleepy safe place, nature kissed

Falling dozing droplets sing a lullaby

Day's fires quenched, dark ash past fears nullify

The imagery is immersive. The rain wrapping around you like a velvet cloak, quieting the world and holding everything in gentle suspension. There’s something wonderfully tender about how the storm becomes both shield and lullaby, protecting fragility while letting it breathe. A very serene, comforting read.

Thank you so much Jansy for your read and most kind comment it is deeply appreciated and valued. I have always seen nature in all forms, particularly storms as nurturing and calming and there is nothing that I enjoy more that being rocked to sleep by a tempest.

Soren, this is beautifully written. The rhythm and rhyme create such a calm, lulling effect, like the poem itself is part of the storm’s lullaby. I love the image of “rolling velvet mist” and how the rain becomes both comforter and protector. It captures that feeling of safety within nature’s chaos so well..gentle, introspective, and serene.

Thank you Roma for your review and most generous and kind words they are deeply valued. I have always found storms comforting even in the heart of a hurricane I sleep better.
