"Where I Am With You" by Ryan Vine

The poem "Where I am with you" starts off with an image of a couple; Seeming to be in their old age. The element of an old couple waking up together, is very heartwarming and touching. Knowing what they've been through thick and thin together, showing a strong love, and relationship between the two. This old couple seem alone, but yet together all at the same time, and not trobuled by the cares of the world.

The dark clouds roll in, showing something bleak is coming, and in a literal meaning, rain. The couple look out the window, and see the youth and people rushing, rushing through their lives; The couple observes these people through eyes of wisdom. Almost as if they have been there and done that, and now know what the real importance of life truly is. And in a way they seem to have a sense of pride when watching this younger generation. Almost as if they are their own child, who has grown, became mature and independant; seeing it as a job well done on their part. Making the feeling that they have done what they can, and that they have completed their purpose and mission in life, that is, to raise the youth to fill in their shoes when it's their time.

The final line really ties into what was mentioned. The only thing that anyone in this poem ever say is "Let it rain, let it pour." As if they are ready for the worst, and in their old age I thought in my mind that they are ready for death. And as they look and see their accomplishments in the younger generation they feel complete and ready to die together.
