in and out of my life like so many rainy days I am the last raindrop forgotten as soon as the sun appears You have filled your jars with a million other downpours It is of no consequence to you that I am lost for you believe that I will rain again When your vessels are empty and thirst keeps you weak dream of me As I am wept from sky to ground water morphs to crystal and shatters at your feet One last raindrop you couldn’t save for later © february 2002 ...and her crown was formed by the ice in her eyes |

Even one lonely raindrop shares hope. It can clean the glass of despair, remove the bitterness of hate, feed moments of posibilities and be the path of something new ... ... but most of all, with the right conditions, it can create a rainbow!! I am looking forward to seeing that side of you. Until then .... let it pour. |

*sigh* such despair in each raindrop...such pain and loneliness just wanting to be charished..I too, like Craig, hope to see the rainbow that is so beautiful when the sun shines through the raindrops...**big hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

This has an underlying message to never take things for granted which, unfortunately, too many do... very good! |

It brings me joy to see this poem, similar a bit in the metaphor I used in Hailstorms. Thank you for your kind comments. Nature is beautiful and reflects human nature nicely in its weather. Hugs, Joe |
