And Lingers In

it seems as if
Someone heard my prayer
the one I issued
a way out there
of cloudy days or sunny be
if cloudy then,
please rain on me

for on the ground
as morning light
illuminates a wondrous sight
a glimmer of
a dampening down
gives me a smile
and not a frown

the moisture lies
in puddles fair
about the leaves
a rotting there
a thing of beauty
is what I see
reflected sky
and shadowed tree

my heart finds life
in nature’s love
its tears of joy
from up above
a softened painting
greets my eyes
and lingers in
my peaceful sighs

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

That was beautiful.. And great imagery.

I wish to become a great poet some day, but it will only come in time. Til then, I shall write my poems, and wait.
