Drought

The sky is brittle
like dry bones.
All weeping gone.

The clover grasps at dew
though grace weaves nasturtium
like greedy snakes,
they take their place,
harbingers no matter what,
of spring.

Around the lakes
lines mark the place
in feet where water
ate the greedy dirt then polished rocks
and licked the manzanita branch
last year.

The seasons almost gone now,
and still
the sky is brittle
like dry bones.

Where is the weeping cloud?

(smiles) Ooohhhhhhhh...I love this, sweet friend, your words paint a wonderful surreal vision of a wasteland hit hard by a dust bowl! (kiss on cheek) Your words and imagery always amaze me, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I can sure relate to this one, miss, after Florida went through its worst drought in 40 years last year. Now we've got weeping clouds all over the place!!! I'll send you one

You left me a memory and I hope it comes across soon in the form of something as nice as this...

In loud sobs
and gushes
weeps the cold.

The inbetween season
has come calling
clearly falling.

Crystals
soon leaden
all about.

The dry winter
encased now,
fragile.
