Expand Your Worlds

Expand your Worlds

Here come the melancholy rains;
the sky that blooms
in serious shades of gray,
clouds towering high
then sinking real low
to become mist
when the rains stop.

I wonder if the world
feels like I do;
wading through
a sense of expectancy
as if worlds should merge
in the stillness after the rain
bringing a rebirth without
the pain, the sorrow,
it is a new beginning.

Melancholy sighs
as the sun burns off the mist
and once again reality;
evident pains and sorrows
whispers of dreams behind
closed eyes; the world awaits
the lover, the fairy,
the kindly queen.

Come again rain
and drown these sorrows,
merge the worlds and unleash
the power of fantasy within.
Become the person
in your sleeping head
and expand your worlds

An interestingly somber tone to this poem MYSTY - the forecast says rain ((re. Here come the melancholy rains)) - But looking deeper into your words - it looks like a possible sunshiny day. You always impress me with your nature writes. This poem for instance offers a certain insight into perfecting ones world, the whole while, paying tribute to the rain. I think this is what I like most about this write: The tip-of-the-hat towards nature and the grand simile of rain not spoiling the parade LOL --- There's encouragement in your words that really epitomizes the title Expand Your Worlds. There's hope and gentleness and kind encouragement!

I liked this stanza the most for its all-inclusive aspect. I do think you are being a bit "mystical" with your poetics in this stanza though - I'm sensing a double-entendre or sorts LOL - I won't expound on that though - but I like this stanza and the entire write really.

Nice write. Thanx for the sharing

Jacquii.

Hello Mysty!

I really do enjoy this poem of yours... and I do just love nature poems and you wove such beautiful imagery with the rain, mist, and I especially enjoyed how the poem began with the first stanza. I like how you have the underlying message of the rains cleansing and kind of starting things anew... and wanting that to happen in life as well as with what the rains do. I think that this was a very poigant point and I like how you intertwined this with the imagery of the mist and what is happening with nature.

One of my favorite stanzas was the first stanza and I just think that set up the poem really well and kind of began it with a "bang!" I wanted to definitely read more and I just thought it was a beautiful beginning to it. I also felt that the poem flowed nicely from one line to the next and you did a good job with this as well.

Altogether, I'm glad that I came across your poem and thanks for sharing!

Fantastic penning Mysty, this poem seems to be filled with hope and sadness as nature washes away your sorrows then as the sun burns away the mist it brings back that somber feeling of loneliness, and then hoping the rain to return to take to into another realm of happiness where love comes your way.
