Finally

the fall of rain
creep creep the morning
along the quickening

slow go slow

today from fasting
holds a fortune
call them little pieces of torment
and change
a rag to rage the indifferent dirt
split and narrow crease of sorrow

hanging tree so glory bound dry
golden brown in stages curtained
to the naked almost gone

a cage fast from cloud escapes
the hungry night
and the brittle leaf
the weeping keeps then falls

all grace of mending water
come save day

This rain sings its song and you have recorded it ever so beautifully, dear Martie. This water's sacredness has been acknowledged by your fantastic pen.

Love,
Margherita

yes, dear lady, yes indeed, saves the day.
Profound write, which leaves the reader to ponder his/her own reflection.  But then, you always seem to initiate a great deal of insight and love.  Hope all is well with you and yours.  

Hugs to ya

A bit here, a piece there, independent, almost unrelated parts of a single whole....and gradually the real of it becomes clear. I love it when  poem does this, and you do it so very well.

Well, you didn't send me any rain,
but you did send some fingering fog...



Thanks!

Martie,

I love this poem!

The rain is just beginning here.

"today from fasting
holds a fortune
call them little pieces of torment
and change
a rag to rage the indifferent dirt
split and narrow crease of sorrow"

Very nice expression Martie I surely do love the end because it closes the reflection so well.

You actually make rain desirable Martie, and I would trade you right now for all my snow.
