October Rains

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Dance in the sun,
turn your back 
to the clouds.
     Zimbabwean Proverb




Hibiscus kokio saint johnianus
Seize the moments
of happiness,
 love and be loved! 
That is the only
 reality in the world, 
all else is folly. 
Leo Tolstoy



Rain in October reminds us,
Nature’s invitation to pause.
Reset, and prepare for the 
Turning of the year.
Foster your resilience and
Hope for brighter days.

Rainy October reminds us
To rest, reflect, embrace
Sadness and delight.
Both come along with change, 
Like personal growth, and 
New beginnings. 

Rain can stir profound thoughts
Of transition, nostalgia, and 
The beauty of subtle moments.
Rainy days can teach us lessons
To carry during  sunny times.
       Cloudia Charters





The only true currency 
In this bankrupt world 
is what you share 
with someone else 
when you're uncool.
  Cameron Crowe

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia


⦖⦖⦖⦖⦖⦖⦖



the day you learn 
to sit alone 
and do nothing.

    Speaking of rain in October, we are about to receive a ton today and tomorrow. We need it though.

    "Early Morning Rain" was one of my favorite songs back in the day, Cloudia. Your poem is eloquent and thought-provoking, too. Blessings!

    I love your October poem. Rain does teach us a lot of things. I like staying inside and getting all comfy when it rains.
