found words

there will be words today
or rain
I can never seem to tell the difference

clouds are forming
thoughts swell

preparing for the relief that will come

your dreams lay waiting
for the sunshine of a smile
and the quenching of a word

 

rain is promised by painted skies

lie back
and rest yourself a moment

soon the words will fall
you will be soaked through
by the longing in my voice

comfort will wrap you up
and fill you with promised sweetness

Author's Note

maybe it will grow finally

[Patient Poet (Yos)]

It should't grow, its perfect as it is ... I love how you beautifully connected lack of words , to lack of water , dry as the desert , sometimes we feel the emptiness of no words , like praying for the rain to come and wash us all .... all poets can relate to this , we are the words people , we are longing to be heard on dry periods ... only a writer that know how hard it is , not to fid the right words to express the feelings , wait for the rain to come , wet the ground again before the first bloom... thank you for briinging so much beauty into here xx

you are the only person who echoes through each and everyone of her words...rest of us lie and exaggerate but you are there...same smile and sweetness...

I hope Emily, everyday. Some days they turn real. Most days they don't.

Our words have a voice.... Silence has a voice.... It's wonderful to find words after silence covets us... Oh, Emily...love the swelling of the clouds and then.....wish!!! Words!!! As we lie soaked with promise...

excellent: the first stanza (i've always imagined: the sky mirrors the mind)

i think this is one of the best pieces youve ever written emily. detailed and concise, nice extended metaphor that doesnt overwhelm itself. i dont know what to say that the poem doesnt say itself. very well done, very very.
