Analysis of Echoes of Rain: A Reflection on Memory



The water gleams,
in memory's stream,
ripples flow to the past's dream,
where raindrops fell,
a soothing spell,
washing away pain's dark swell.

About this poem

In the gentle ripples of memory's lake, I see the reflection of past times. Each ripple carries me back to moments when raindrops fell, bringing with them a sense of renewal and cleansing. Those drops, like tiny messengers, washed away the sorrow and pain, leaving behind a feeling of peace and healing.
