Sitting by the window, with my face pressed to the window pane
I watch as the skies cry, and I rejoice in their pain
I watch the raindrops slither, reaching the bottom of the glass
I open one window, and slowly reach out
To catch a few raindrops, in my palm
The chilly air is wafting through the open window
The lightning strikes, it’s very sudden
I pull my hand inside, in fear
I wrap a blanket around me, to ward off the chills
I see a girl from my window
Silhouetted in the street lights, dancing in the rain
With her hands outstretched
I can’t see her face, but I imagine she’s happy
She reminds me of my mother, always happy, always smiling
I wonder what she’s doing now
I look up at the skies, maybe it’s her crying
I catch a few more raindrops in my hand
“Don’t cry, mommy”, I whisper
“My hands are not big enough to catch all your tears”
Do you think she can hear me?
-The Girl Lost In The Bookstore
One of the best pieces of poetry I’ve read so far.
This is very beautiful in its flow.

Few things, few feelings anf may be few emotions can never be replaced. .
Feelings, emotions and that x-thing of first rain is the best example of that..!!

Not just beautifully penned, but enriched with the sense of smell — Petrichor. I said the said thing about my mommy once when I was four or five… It haunts me. Loved this.
