Have you ever

Have you ever smelled the perfume of rain,

as it falls on grounds naked breast,

heard a leaf sing in whispers,

or been serenaded by an angel with feathers dressed?

Have you been made love to by the undulating sea,

or been carried in the maternal belly of a storm?

Have you been kissed softly by the lips of a fog,

or laid tenderly under snow's blanket so warm,

been embraced by the comforting arms of night,

listened to frogs and crickets enchant you with a bedtime story

or with child like wonder, looked into the mirror of a lake,

reflecting all of heavens glory?

If you have lived long in the grip of man,

you may think all this very odd

but I have been held in the hand,

seen the face and heard the voice of God

The poem highlights the often-overlooked moments of beauty in everyday life, from the soft kiss of fog to the warmth of snow's blanket.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Soren... when I was young there were Cat-tails along the River... in Ohio... along with brown "p***y willows" on long stems. The Serenity of Peace remains in my memory. Yes, I have smelled the Perfume of Rain. Your Poetry has touched my Heart and lies on a feathered breast of contentment. softly, Pat

[Soren]
