“RAIN AND I” by Bill Charles ~~~~ Today when it was raining I went for a walk, to experience what effects the rain would have, as I felt its embrace… I found a meadow and stood there surrounded by its peacefulness, the rain drenched me with its kisses, as it ran down my face… I felt it flow over my eyes, it touched my lips and I discovered it felt like your kisses, warm, moist, and full of discovery… So I let it caress me, as you have done so many times, and I knew the rain and I had discovered each other intimately, the same way we did, last night… ~~~~ |

Bill, It's strange, rain is usually associated with sorrow but you have made it a thing of joy and wondrous beauty. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Hi Bill! Your poem is beautiful. You remind me of the following scripture: "When a king's face brightens, it means life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring." NIV Proverbs 15:16 -newell Sharing God's Love through |

Bill darling boy have you any idea how utterly wonderful this poem is? How it flows over the page like a soft caress? How sensuous and delicate is it's touch like rain falling like crystal tears of joy. it would be difficult to pick a line or two, it was difficult to pick a verse but these two fairly call me it touched my lips and I discovered it felt like your kisses, warm, moist, and full of discovery… So I let it caress me, as you have done so many times, and I knew the rain and I had discovered each other intimately, the same way we did, last night That is pure poetry, truly exceptional work, you are an absolutely brilliant darling boy utterly wonderful. This is a keeper for certain. Into my library with you. Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Just lovely. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
