Once it was so full sustaining life with nothing left to fill. Drying up and weathered from winds of time no longer holding it's thrill. Lifeless and barren motionless, disturbed only by a faint passing breeze. Once again helplessly controlled an empty body under seize. Out there somewhere in the distance a ripple yet is seen. Just a glint of life a chance yet for fate to intervene. Let the thunder roll as the heavens quake and let the life return to this forsaken lake. (looking out over the dam near where I live, realizing how quickly life can be affected by the simple process of the passing of time.....) PLEASE SEND RAIN!!!!! ~Me~ (I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance~Garth) [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (03-10-2002 08:53 PM).] |

Very beautiful, Gentle Spirit... Out there somewhere in the distance a ripple yet is seen. Just a glint of life a chance yet for fate to intervene. Its amazing how little ripples can turn into big waves. ![]() copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Let the thunder roll as the heavens quake and let the life return to this forsaken lake. Yes, Gentle Spirit, my canal is also dry. Our lake is down 18 feet. As every year Florida gets more and more in need of rain. As man wastes more and more of our precisous resource, our forest thirsts. Thanks for sharing this.

Well done. Sometimes the chaos of thunder is by far preferred to yet another sunny day. Praying for rain. ThisDiamond |
