DroughtThe evening finds my eyes aligned believing light where shadows show And leaves, in lust for daily dew lick naught but dust in garden's row And what of fruit that fails to fall? Can kindness cure its bitter bite? And will the skin so seldom kissed embrace with haste the nearing night? [This message has been edited by Meadowmuse (edited 08-15-2000).] |
