Drought breaks (Oh Thank God)
I will take humidity
Pray You ease the parch

Let me fear not now
Thankful prayers came too soon
Rain us once each day

Let lush find its way
We have been without too long
More than ponds need fill

Let us not hear words
Let the Sun shine in O Lord
It needs a break, too

We have a lack of moist here also,
But my wish for rain is so we’ll have more
Cloudy, Gloomy days.
Too much bright
Nice write.

If you start getting too much rain send it on over to the eastern part of the state...we could use it too.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Karilea, I kniow exactly how you feel, for your neighbor to the west is in the middle of the worst drought too since 1977! (sigh) I haven't heard the Farmers Almanac yet but I only pray that much rain will fall and enrich the soil and vegetation in Colorado and Kansas and all over, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

rain when it comes
seems to make trails down
familiar river beds
that were almost forgotten

lovely images ms

Kari darling sister of my heart, Your words like crystal rain falls blessing the drought of arid places in this readers heart. admittedly I haven’t got any arid places in my heart but that’s because I take a dose of Kari at least once a day and often a lot more than that

One day I shall read one of your poems and say Oh that’s not as good as her’s usually are!! ………. And that day will be when the earth stops turning time rolls backwards, the sun falls from the heavens and the rain falls up.

Absolutely wonderful exquisite writing, I love it. has that made the smile warm your eyes and settle briefly on your lips? I hope so


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Step through the

let my eyes guide you
into the shadows of my heart

Sunshine - this is very good...especially with the scent of rain in the air on this unusually hot April day. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

I've read this several times... and like it more each time I read it. *S* There are so many wonderful images... and whether intended or not, I find myself sliding effortlessly into thoughts of other droughts that need their desperate thirsts quenched... what rain refreshes a damaged heart? *S*
