Erie Weeping The air compressed into misery over Cleveland Adding moisture to the banality of that concrete trails finality Though my thoughts collected to the hollow of your hand Waters rose, flooding over barriers never meant to resist Every breath seemed far too heavy that my heart dismissed As I drove, my emotions recoiled from the sheer density Soon exiting to the picturesque bi-way, a sighs propensity Changing tense with my affinity for a brighter disposition Toledo came and went along a monotonous hour I remained high-minded, but the sky pouted fragrance sour Travelers bereft tuned into that overcast energy Signaling unplanned turns in the heat of false urgency Road rage flipped lane changes that spit back at me Summarized, the journey had been cold and dark But destiny prevails its sunshine, another step meant to embark Yet, this powerful interplay, communicated what words cannot say Magnetic as the wind, drawing pools of close and vital jewels to see That I was meant to be, this near to where my hopes and dreams agree And so it was only Erie weeping, In the rear view mirror's vigil I'd been keeping Copyright Kkh 9/1/07 |

v. interesting 'write'! I especially love: "Magnetic as the wind..." AND: "near to where my hopes and dreams agree" |

Very well penned description of the flooding. If it’s not hot and bone dry, it’s a deluge. Nice write Kathy! JL  Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor. |
