Rain rides the blue highway
its song, redundant, running on sentences
strumming the cobblestones
along with as the hills of the heavenly

siphoning itself, it drowns in the graveyard
undaunted by my longing to read
between its droplets of proverbs and daffodils
messages morph into shadow

evading my fingertips
like braille to hands that have calloused
succumbing, undeciphered
into the whirl of the waterfall's babble

(and I never got to know you)

Yow!  Despite all your other masterpieces, this, in my opinion, is your pièce de résistance, EmmaRose!  Whilst your title couldn't be better, and thus is perfect, it is simply untrue - you DID capture the uncapturable!!!  More yow!

This is really wonderful, Emma.  You capture so much, and even more... in your short and endearing poem.

Very nice writing~

There are times when "succumb, undeciphered into the whirl of the waterfall's babble." is the right thing to do. However, when it comes to the heart there leaves much speculation.
