Come softly
silver rain, come
softly now my thoughts,
heavy as September's reddest hue
in hours shed these patched conceits
of dry leaves, curled
along the Summer road,
become some vast appalling wilderness,

your hands, an Autumn dream,
casts a thick red sap
upon the swollen planes of my body,
crouched in a stealthy pathos
of gray leopard cells,
as they well, wild with faith
and thirsty prayer,

come away
from these stale Summer breads,
for your kisses
are a much softer fate
than wisdom, come

the ease of rain, softly
silver rain,

stay the solemn night
with leaves, bedeck
my flesh, perilous,
let it ascend
its gray latitudes
in blizzards of dogwood,
kindling songs on paper chains

my hands,
string an alphabet
of silence, tied
by hours of rope,
inviolate, palms
clasped to glass, two
hummingbirds, quiet

stilled, joined, unbind
to close into fists, come Fall,
the season of bearing,
the rich red earth darkens and drinks
our tears, and now, never
the ease of rain, falling,
come softly, softly silver rain.

ah~ teh softness
It rains softly here today, though I would know little of it fromt he meetings and offices I have been occupying....

your words are forever a source of... amazement...

it is beatiful kid... the way you paint with words and half lined images..

~Chief~

There is nothing like the lull of soft silver raindrops on the sill...and soft, damp Summer mornings....

hurry home~

The long read poems return...
and make for some sultry summer reading...

smiling at you...
and the ones you brought home!

This reads like the silver rain you write of.  It's beauty in its finest form.  Thank you for sharing.
