evening rain

a hot shower to wash away lingering remnants of the day soft pajamas and fuzzy socks under throw blankets a mug of hot chocolate with whipped cream and snacks playing games or reading stories or watching comfort shows against the white noise of raindrops on the windows maybe taking a moment to sit by the glass stare into the ever-creeping darkness of the world- i lose myself as i drown in the rain and i could not be more at peace

morning rain

you wake up to pitter-patter against your window, coaxing you from the drudges of sleep. you pull the curtain back and see the world cast in gray, a blur of raindrops in the space between you and the rest of the world.

it is the gentle mist that coats the trees and roads. a quiet rhythm against the glass and sidewalk that sings like a lullaby. a soft fog lingering in the air like your mind in the early moments of wakefulness.

your lips turn up just a little, a rare moment of peace settling in your heart in a world filled with chaos. at least it takes less effort to force yourself out of bed and go about your routine, knowing the rain will be with you.

a/n: This is the first of a series of four short poems I call "types of rain", where I write a poem about rain at four different times of the day.

midday rain

among bustling crowds and packed highways, the rain accompanies you like a friend as you go about your day.

and this is a friend you could spend all your time with.

the rain is the only thing that understands all of you. it hears your pain and cries for you just as tears stream your face. it pours around your car or the four walls you confine in like the warmest hug. it calms your soul in a way no human could give you in all the time in the universe.

and the more rain that falls from the monochrome sky, the stronger that sense of serenity and strength that settles within.

We been through every kind of rain there is. Little bitty stingin' rain... and big ol' fat rain. Rain that flew in sideways. And sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath. Shoot, it even rained at night...
