 another storm like so many others but, somehow, this one was different... the clouds gathered early and lingered all day casting heavy shadows upon my soul the thunder sang it's song of sorrow as lightening carved deep wounds into my fragile heart the difference... this time it rained as night fell and i was left in solitude the clouds began to burst- a few drops at first and then an endless flood the floodwaters flowed through the desolate valleys of my soul- washing away the debris and replacing it with sparkling rivers of life abundant with hopes and dreams just another storm... no- this one was different- so very different -vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes |

Vicky~ 'the difference... this time it rained' When it rains from your heart ... it's the most refreshing kind of storm. For when it's over ... there's a rainbow of hope. You're G R O W I N G !  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I found this back here, and am sad to see there aren't more replies to it. This was fantastic! I LOVED IT!! the floodwaters flowed through the desolate valleys of my soul- washing away the debris and replacing it with sparkling rivers of life abundant with hopes and dreams Most excellent, so this is going back to the top where it belongs! Nothing like a great storm to blow through and leave us washed with river of hopes and dreams! Very well stated!!!<*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. |

beautiful, and your so right sometimes we need rain to wash us and refresh us unlike a storm with lightning that strikes and causes so many marks. |

Superb penning and I loved the way you did one verse in nature and the other in your soul seperated by the colors to show the reflection of you in the other |
