      Raindrops
suspended on a string
tied back for a moment
while birds gather wing to wind;
not delayed in air

thunderous waves the senses hear
bringing feathered bones to bare.
Sparing the chill of bones, they won’t;
Fortitude has spoken.
If purging through the spearing drops,
living spirit will not be broken.

   Why then, before the leaking of the clouds,
does the heart unmended
fare the weather, spare the wing
to exist in a season unintended?
For a moment, drops suspended.

Dear Misc, this is truly beautiful and in a way poignant.

Greatly enjoyed the pictures and sensations your words evoked.

Love,

Eloquent and uniquely expressed ~ as per usual!
You have a way of writing that is all your own and highly identifiable ~ and appreciated!!!

Your poem touched Margherita to the point that she took the effort to post the perfect accompanying photo for it!

Lovely write, Misc
