The Living Rain

It rains

Drips of the desert’s life

Descending heavens

Blossoming a new spring

Footprints in the mud

 

Emotion pours

The sands first kiss to a distant shore

The baking heat

Tears of a restful dance, weeping

Feathers ancient taking rise

 

Embracing the howls

Small, long, near and far

A Coyote’s yip

A Wolf’s deep soul

A Bear that juggles laughter

The weight of a thousand singing mice

Easily held

Upon the entwined branches of the elder Oak

Ashes and Sugared Pine

 

Hands clasping

Fingers reaching out, playing

A liquid rich night, starlight bright

Every mote sparkling

A dream’s eager glow

A softness, crafted aloft on silent wings

Of a ghost, a street lamp Owl

Its call, a Midnight heart

Asunder with silent joy and tear

 

Feel it?

Among the colors that drift

Upon the endless changing sands

Within the blended hues

 

 We should…

That love that never ends

The picture that I got from reading your poem is a distant world we have forgotten to feel and in many ways we've neglected and abused it. Magnificent, like always. I truly enjoy reading your works, and since I haven't been on writer's cafe in a long time...I've kind of missed seeing the images you create with your writing.

Thank you! I appreciate your comment.

Wow, I don't even know what to say with this one. Beautifully constructed, and it has an amazing flow to it. I felt like I'd been brought to another wold while reading this. Again, nice work. I love your poetry.

Thank you Erin, I really appreciate your view on the ink. =)

Your way with words is so entertaining. Every line has so much meaning to it. Every word combination is so carefully crafted. You sir, are a very gifted artist. In the line "Small, long, near and far", I was a little surprised that you used the word "small" instead of "short". The word "small" gives it so much more meaning. Your poem flows beautifully, and all of the thoughts connect to make it all as one complete masterpiece. Please keep sharing your insightful creations. :)

Thank you for such a wonderful and appreciated review! =D The use of "Small" made sense to me after photographing a Coyote Puppy not to long ago. I thought puppies must yip and howl smaller than the adults. lol

[Layteebug]

Haha! Yes, I would assume so. :) What a cool experience it would be to photograph a coyote pup!
