Sky Lullaby


rain spatters
white keyed
on the pane
as inexperienced
wet fingers
pound out
unknown verse

I’m not disappointed,  I never expected anything from you.

helen,
When I was fifteen my brother and I used to go up to the attic, when it was raining, and no matter how cold we'd pile on the sleeping bags and sleep in the double bed up there so we could listen to the rain. Gotta love the rain. And I see you do.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

(sigh) Oh Helen, this is gorgeous, sweet friend, I too love hearing the rain patter the windows and rooftop before I go to sleep and in the morning, it is a peaceful relaxing sound to me! (kiss on cheek) This is lovely, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Love to hear the rain, but it sounds different with a hearing aid. LOL

Love this Helen. Chris

Reminded me of W.C. Williams in its simplicity.

Thank you.
