Stand In The Rain Poem by Lyn Paul

Stand In The Rain

Rating: 4.6


A glance
At everything
What, Does it mean?
The Money, Is nothing
It's the things
That we have seen

How have we dealt
With each step
Of each day
Have I handled things right?
Or the absolute wrong way?

I now see
I don't care
For the falseness of living
Humans are a race
A face of believing

Believing life is
A material gift
This upsets the calm
Its a destroying rift

It's not till you age
You've closed so many a door
You look back
And see
Just what was this for?

I am now the calm

I can't change the time
I can't change the pain

I can change what it takes
To Stand in the rain

Insightful and confronting. At least standing in the rain causes no pain.

I can't change the time I can't change the pain I can change what it takes To Stand in the rain....outstanding conceptualization. Time can't be changed, but resolve can be changed. A great philosophical poem on life and death has been astutely delineated. Thank you dear madam for sharing this gem.10
