Satiated < !signature-->While oatmeal lay congealing in bowls on the kitchen table we lay together under cool sheets gaining sustenance only from each other As the rain fell in rivers outside inside safe and warm we drowned in tides of passion collapsing in one another’s arms And to the soft sound of distant windchimes we moved in a rhythm all our own until satiated we drifted off to sleep To love means never to be afraid of the windstorms of life: should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings. ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 04-09-2000).] |

Oh Ruth, I'm with you...leave the d...outmeal to congeal, there are far,far better things to do. What a tender loving beautiful poem, and the oatmeal made it so human...I like that. |

I've heard of the rhythm of the falling rain now we have the rhythm of the windchimes. Lovely poem. James |
