The Sun Can Hear Thunder

I have known that the sun can hear thunder
and how its brightness
can be unfathomable,
like my dreams.
Since the beginning of my pulse
I have been honored
with good days
that left me grateful
inside of the sweetness
never stifling.........
within all it means.

When midnight kisses the glass
that morning has already
tasted......
Like a thirsty spider
crying out........
for the rain.
All of my senses are
swept through
knowing, my words don't fall
on deaf ears......
or stand there,
all wasted.

No, you cannot know how I'm feeling
but that doesn't mean
our world's stopped spinning.
The sun.......
can still hear thunder
in all the ways you love me.
You lift me up
in the midst of a storm.
All my senses are swept through
my words stand in stillness
a storm's ending......
is love's beginning.

I doubt very seriously if the sun could hear at all that it would hear anything above its own conversion of mass to energy...however I did enjoy the poem. Love can be a storm...but I'd prefer the comfort of old jeans and favorite books and patchwork quilts...warm wood fires...soft candle glow and steaming hot baths myself. It takes awhile for love to get there and I'm not as patient as I was when young. Still it might be worth suffering a storm or two. Your writing is always wonderful.

' I have known that the sun can hear thunder ~ and how its brightness ~ can be unfathomable, ~ like my dreams. ' ~~ Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. You use language as if IT is a lover, makes me gasp, makes me sigh.

I've read this four times and each time different a different emotion jumps out a me: it's both subtle yet fiery, controlled yet powerful .. but mostly, how loving and faithful every part of it is .. and that's what matters.

Great read. I'm captivated by the sense of magnificence behind your descriptions of a great and complex world.

I'm not so sure about the ellipses but maybe that's just me.
