A Comforting Embrace

Drizzles from the rain

Welcome to I Sea Poetry & Art, a reader-supported newsletter of anything nature.

The Story

In the tropical island where I am now, it’s the monsoon season and we get heavy rains a lot. One day at work, only few customers settled in the cafe, and I sat down to stare blankly at the sea while I listened to the raindrops at peace.

Here is a simple art for the soul.

I placed the subtle water ripples in the foreground and darkened the trees in the background to imply how we perceive the mood of rain.

Then I highlighted the umbrella to emphasize the bright side of it.

In this simple sketch using low quality colored pencils, I want to also show that art doesn’t need a perfect setup or perfect materials. You just need initiative.

A Comforting Embrace

These drizzles make me wonder

about the voices and the breeze

when we only see disaster

we forget about the peace

As the rain pours hard

I hear it calling us to stop

See the puddles in the sand

Water vibrations when they drop

These moments make me feel

all the weight released down

like the rain helps me through

heavy burdens I carry around

You see, it’s not a sad weather

but a comforting embrace

to pull yourself together

‘til it gives back the sunny days.
