MELODY MAGIC
23 June 2013

The rain soft-drummed
its soothing heartbeat
in a lullaby hush
of whispered peace
on leaf and branch
in the shadowed reaches
of night’s grace;

and she knew the refrain
of its melancholy song
and she sang along
voicelessly
in reverence
of sweet, ancient sorrows
fingering every moonlit note
welcoming it
into the corners
of her frazzled soul;

and harmony
loosened and slow-flooded
her taut frame
and she became
the vessel
of rain’s serenade.

Lovely thoughts on the magick of rain and deep whisper of the soul, Diana.
Sure would love to see a little rain. It is very hot and dry here.

Thank you for living my poem so beautifully, Ida.

We haven't had terribly much here, either, but then it is winter and our rain falls mainly in summer (except the geographically Mediterranean region of the Western Cape - that is, an area around Cape Town). I wish I could send you some, though, lol!

You have painted the beauty into this dark piece just as there is beauty in the nocturnal world. Excellent.

rain's serenade in its many tempos is one of nature's many gifts to us. You are a wise Owl to harken to its beautiful orchestra.
