Anticipating Rain Hear the method of repair the air is filled with a low hum across the nape of winter’s naked trees I feel like I still hold the leaves the weight like feathers now anticipating rain No the fabric will not remain so quiet it will touch me until I am clogged and then as I am released from my hold it will steady this quill forsaken and a season will grow within the ditch soon dimple the overflow off curb awash within the noisy gutters rise until I can at last lay down a word of me that flows down the cement river to the sea |

...all of it.... My mother-in-law, 94, often says... where will the rain go when it doesn't have the ground to fall in to? and I remember the cement rivers.... |

 (big hugggssssss) Oh Martie, this is so very wonderful, sweet friend, I anticipate the rain ever so much as we are in the worst drought situation in state history, can I have some water? (smiles) This is gorgeous, 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!

Hear the method of repair the air is filled with a low hum across the nape of winter’s naked trees I feel like I still hold the leaves the weight like feathers now anticipating rain ========================== I do so love the way your mind works and the things you find your inspiration in. Where the touch of lovers end and the soul of friends begin, |
