Listen


And the rain
         stopped
The trees were still
clouds
took their leave

listen, he said
be still
   close your eyes
do not let the sounds
    of the pavement
           fool you

they are there
           calling each other
no noise
will shut them out
      nature's calling

suddenly,
the sun came out
           the birds fluttered
and the chipmunks scurried
    across the grass

Do not move, he said
            as his lips
     favored her ear
hush,
   he whispered
   I love you...

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

this reads feather light...like a whisper on the wind..
love the surreal and romantic essence.
So good to see your name here again SG.

I refuse to accept that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism & war that the daybreak of peace can never be reality.
