    "Feel the cool drops,
    tears from a saddened heaven.
    Open up your hands,
    hold it in close. "

    ^^I really like this opening stanza, I enjoyed the imagery and emotion and it pulled me into the piece.

    "Time is going so quick,
    blurring past innocent eyes.
    Grasp a piece to keep,
    stand in the rain."

    ^^I really liked the third line here, it stood out to me the most, I found it very moving and powerful.

    "Echoes of silence
    reverberate through the air.
    Cries of lonliness,
    let it all out. "

    ^^ I found this stanza to be somewhat weaker than the others, maybe work on this one a little?

    "Hold onto time,
    brace for the pain,
    watch your life outside,
    away with passive eyes. "

    ^^favourite stanza of the poem, I found it hard hitting and a great way to wrap the piece up.

    I liked the idea behind this poem, I found it to be original and unique in concept.
