Sleep Easy Rain

Turned beneath a sea of softest sheets
Senses stir against the weave of smooth conceit
Letting rest shower on a twilight mind in spirit talk
Glittered perfume sifts upon the air the cosmos mock
Singing hammock hymns in muted choir

Spill
By drop
Desire

A repertoire of sighs, bathing REM glazed eyes
Hands lifted delicately by sweetest dreams indemnify
That comfort is by most a state of blinding cry
As rain the symbol of renewal, in lullaby

Spill
By drop
Desire

Turned the upward palms in thirst retire
Folding from the prone to perfect clarity
Horizons hum in rose blushed equanimity
And dream I will, just listening to sleep easy rain

Solitude, calmness: living in a seascape painting.
What a beautiful poem,TD.

Now, that makes for some easy turning
beneath the coverlets...

"As rain the symbol of renewal, in lullaby"

Kathleen, soft rain drops are like a lullaby,
softly putting us to sleep. It is so relaxing.
Hugs,
Ethel
