Only a plane overhead in the rain
making a pass o’er my terrain
like the hello/goodbye of a lover, a child,
and the come and go of many lifetimes.
  
Yet the roar remains to be heard again
when the missing invades a brain
and when the heart shriveled and flat
intones its woes like a scalded cat.  

The rain has come early this year
a portend perhaps of many more tears
to mingle and mix with the roar
of the wanting and needing of more.

But something grows with the moisture of soul
falling, falling, on life as a whole
and somewhere a garden, a forest, a glen,
will one day say, “Thank you, my friend”.

Helen
take smolering passion, slices of termoil, tragically heightened by facts lurking delicately, beneath the surfaces of kindred souls, awakening them....sending messages of hungry anticipation for peace on earth...literally crowned with intimacy...your a masterful writer of great depth in tenderness...excellent write
Luv

Oh, LeeJ (sniff-sniff) It's a hard, hard, world I (we) live in amidst all the comforts money can buy.  Thank you so much for your encouraging comments - they mean a lot to me.
