Cold Rain
4-6-09

Driven, cold rain mounts a rising wind,
rides the gale to glory:
lovers
til the end.
A given, that we should come to this.
I knew,
you knew,
there’d be no parting kiss.

Trumpets for the soldiers,
bells for the slain.
Drums and thunder hold us
waiting for the rain.

Well done, poet. Powerful evocative imagery.
Hope you're 'weathering' all the storms that have been hitting your area?

(thanks for your reply to Monsieur d'Oncology)
