Thanks to 1slick_lady for getting me started on this thought..... /pip/Forum79/HTML/000624.html

Gathering Threads

I know
that rain
have plunged
outside in
semi-darkness
to look up
along an
endless
strand
of time
clothed in
the loneliness
cool threads
of moist
memory
clinging to
arms, face
my eyes open
mouth open
waiting
praying
for
each
drop

Enjoyed the steady sound, pitter pattering,
along an endless strand of time.
(that's so pretty)

Nice work Ed~

I am new here so I am not familiar with your work, but judging by what I have just read, I'm glad you took the encouraging advice/motivation offered to accomplish such a piece.

I look forward to reading more.

Ed...Perhaps rain does pass through time to bring a memory. It's a lovely thought!
