distant thunder voice
eyes swell with spill-ready tears
air is close to weep
one last kiss brings sudden calm
brave hearts waiting out love's storm

and the storms of summer in your neck of the woods...

Picture perfect, all of it!

I love short poems. I love hopw they can sweep you off your feet. I love howsimple they can seem but reall y be fragile and complex. I loved it.

They say patience is a virtue, but sometimes it seems to take "almost" all we have to weather those storms. Beautiful picture and the perfect poetic accompaniment.

hugs,

seems to me, they take each others hands, sitting there, enjoying the storm together, pointing out, the brillant streaks across the sky, knowing deep inside, they are each other's best.

this was truly lovely

Even that storm on the horizon, or in life, cannot quail the love I read in this poem.
Excellent poetry, and graphics.
