September Rain

September rain falls on the house
As I close the old screen door,
The chaos fades behind me
With each muddy step.

Sensing the ocean’s spray,
I know that I am close to peace.
It is not Nirvana I seek,
But to be filled with those watery words,
Filtering the noise from my troubled mind.

It seems really deep, but I don't really... "get" it.... maybe I'll read it again when I'm awake... :D

i love this poem. it is completely dead on about how i feel about rain. it just feels like it washes away all your worries. great job, kate!
