Awakened by the rain that tapped on my window I pulled away the curtain that hid the clouded day. ...Morning had risen in disguise ... I walked to the back porch and held my hands to the cleansing. Opening my mouth to the quenching of thirst I ran bare foot through the wet grass. In soaked clinging gown, I turned circles reaching for the hidden sky dancing in celebration. This day had given me permission to relax to sit beside the fireplace to light scented candles Combing the rain from my hair watching the water drip from my wet gown, I sit with a glass of white wine. Warming from the inside out. [This message has been edited by Salty (12-03-2002 12:17 PM).] |

This day had given me permission to relax to sit beside the fireplace to light scented candles-- It's not raining here, but overcast. And this is what I'm doing. ('cept for the fireplace) pout. Thanks for this "release" of a read. |

I really loved this Salty, reminds me of those walks in the rain i used to take to clear my head. Nothing like a good rain to get in touch with nature and life. Then again i'm slightly mad so maybe it's just me. raph |
