Tongues rain down on wind
speak softly to me.
Be a presence long
denied, accompany my soul.
I am
turning, a pirouette toppled
beneath exhausted will.

I whisper tongues rain down on wind
speak softly to me.

Through the storm-
infuse color
give me something to hold onto
give to me….
to me.

One moment, one fine moment
Pour down paraphrasing
truths, come, allow me to
enter into
a place deep-
a wellspring.

I pray tongues rain down on wind
speak softly to me.

For the voice is gone-
all is silent.

Lilies died.
Leaves fell.
Snow will melt, ice will freeze
but my tears turned to rosewater
when bitter turned to
grace and cried....

Tongues rain down on wind
speak softly to me….



Carolina
