 Artwork by Josephine Wall It's raining here today The drops are thick and heavy Someone stole the sun away Funny how it coincides with everything I feel Just wondering what is real And what's illusion... I miss the fleeting sun For in those moments it had looked Like summer was begun But now it feels like plans and hopes Have washed right down the drain And left behind residual seclusion... But wait...the rain has ceased! It seems that Mother Nature's thirst Has finally been appeased And now she's arching brilliant In the sky just overhead Her colored band a product of illusion A simple gift to man, for her intrusion! |

Reminded me of that old song about Camp Granada...and a letter he was writing to his parents. "Wait a minute, its stopped raining, guys are swimming, guys are sailing, playing baseball, gee thats better, mother, father kindly disregard this letter." James |

Hi James!! Thank you, and oops...now I know what age you are by that song!!!! Ha!!!! Hi SEA! Yes, those lines just expressed it for me at the moment, too. Oh, I love the work of Josephine Wall...she's just fantastic in everything she paints. Thank you, my friend!! Hi passing shadows! I'm like you, as I sometimes hate the rain, especially when I have to be out in it to get stuff done! Would much rather sit in the sun, wouldn't you?? Rain is only temporary...and thank you for being here! Hi bbent!! Good to see you. Well, the rain stopped, the sun came out, and the world's bright and shiny again. Yep, remember that song...'Storms Never Last'?? Thank you, bbent|!! Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ |

Hi Ethel, and thank you so much!! My puter has been on the blink, and now I borrow Music Maker's when he is at work, so hopefully I will be able to visit more often. (You don't know how much you are hooked to the puter until it dies on you!!) Good to see you too, believe me!!!!  Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ |

But now it feels like plans and hopes Have washed right down the drain And left behind residual seclusion... It can be so comforting to curl up inside on a rainy evening... or sleep in, letting the rhythm of the rain lull us back to dreams. *S* But rain can also bring about somber reflections... where the dimness of light outside seems to make our mood even darker. *S* This is lovely, Sunnyone... finishing with a promise that all will be better eventually. *S* Well done! |

Hi Suthern, and thank you!! You know, sometimes I personally find that I need that rain in order to appreciate the brightness that comes into my life. The residual seclusion gives me time to ponder what it's all about, eh?? |
