The rain wraps around
the sound            of silence
broken by the cascade of rain
as it slips       into my soul
washing away
yesterdays pain.
Constant is the pitter patter

          pitter patter

on the window sills
lulling me into
memories of you
when love was thought
    to be true
until it all melts into
dreams         of the past,

of the past

and I sigh
in relief
as the sun breaks through
where the         lingering storms
of you    have remained
way to long
here            in my heart.


I must have had my momma's will
and Gods Amazing Grace...

I'm a survivor....
(Reba)

Rain...
is a cleansing action
of the heavens

of the heart...

Growth
comes from rain...

Donna,

So delicate and soft, and yet offers a wonderful message of hope to those still caught up in lost love's grief. Liked the sunshine lines....

Very well written, enjoyed greatly.

Hugs, Pat

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Donna, this is beautiful but so sad, sweet friend, I hope now the rainbow has come out after the storm and graced your skies with colors and prisms to the tears! (sigh) This is perfect for Reflections, I hope you submit this or one of your other gorgeous poems as I would surely vote for you, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

The rain poured down and made me whole,
Healing my heart and cleansing my soul...

I love the feel, the smell, the taste,
Precious raindrops on my face...

No longer grey, my skies now blue
Washed away are the memories I held of you...


Enjoyed

Your screen name fits your writing better than anybody else's around here (except maybe wranx, he adds with a smile).....

Always gentle, and always with spirit. I look forward to your work.

I so admire your writing, Donna.  This is lovely, my friend.

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn
