The Softly Falling Rain

The fog in San Francisco,
Comes rolling from the Bay.
To bring to dreamers visions,
Of  kingdoms far away.

Where virgins still are waiting_
And dragons to be slain...
You can taste the salt of all their tears-
In the softly falling rain.

There is no time for dreaming-
In the bustle of this life...
We poets are a dying lot,
Amid it's trials and strife.

The age when we were welcome-
Will never dawn again-
Our tears like theirs are washed away,
By softly falling rain.

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

This is so very true...a dying breed.  I am so glad you decided to write and not fold.
