Outcry Discretionary tears puddle the lawn Convulsing in the wind, the sky spends its downpour Aspiring to be the sea, in vertical tide Change is messy Elongated strikes of electric lighted mania Fused purple and blue made sword and victor Flooding the sidewalks, rippled and muddied There is often beauty in chaos The stirring of inquisitive colors that peace would never dredge Gentleness would never hedge, the shimmer of newness Cleansed and sweet, the drowning out of silence Shiny lakes swallow the grass, so soft In the warm and steamy evening curtailing of deluge After every moment seems a lifetime long Almost passion, hinted in thunderous repeat Although, I know your smile, even in the rain Copyright Kkh 7/2/08 |

I love this. Besides the beauty in its entirety and in each word, I loved the conceptual format of the last line of each stanza explaining and summarising the stanza, and I particularly loved the enigmatic "although" in the last line that leaves me wondering and pondering as to its meaning. - Owl |
