In dreams I took your hand gently A mixture of mischief and sweet love sparkling in my eyes I led you out into the rain and danced with you Singing sweetly offkey in your ear while you laughed and smiled down at me with such tender love My fingertip traced your cheekbone Blinking back tears of such joy my lips brushed yours lightly I loved you so In reality I see the rain and slowly step outside Close my eyes and Feel the pain washing over me with the rain I swallow hard and I dance awkwardly at first Singing just a little offkey and soon am swept into the moment into the rain and the wind I dance alone and I smile as I heal After years of searching, I have found I am nothing more, nothing less...I am in truth Just A Woman after all. |

Just A Woman - take my hand, for I will dance with you, and listen to you sing off key. This is a lovely and also sad writing, and I was touched when I read it. The best to you. BC |

The rain helps make dreams real. It's even better at washing away the pain. I could hear you singing a little off key, and see you dancing in the street. Enjoyed this very much. |

Thank you for sharing this with me, it brought peace to my heart. Kathleen Blake "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

The rain is cleansing and one of the best ways to heal. This was great writing. You made me smile. Thank you.  Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Thanks for sharing this rich memory, even if only a dream. Picturesque and touching. |

How absolutely lovely this poem was. I could feel every thing that happened as if it had happened to me. I love to walk in the rain and I've always thought that was so romantic. Great writing. KateGenuine poetry can communicate before it is understood. T S Eliot |
