For I recall the cut of you, so well defined
And I would catch the scent of you in crowded rooms
A vintage gold, in silence it enraptured me to drunken heights

In just so few, each opportunity to hear you brought to water
Deep and dear like velvet on my ear, in shiver down my neck
And I can merely tell you of these waves, for I am lost at sea

If ever you were near, my heart would swim
Drinking in oceans, overflowing salty streams
At times escaping of my lips these thoughts that bathed the surface

For I recall the play that drenched to bone my fantasies
And laughter that we shared in simplest of terms and times
Like water on the garden, or rain upon the pine in spring

If ever you were near, no dearer than you came to be
And I can touch the edges of a feeling that has filled my sails
For I recall the man in every wondrous way...there is only you

Excellent!  Soft, tender images--left me with a sigh--enjoyed!

Intriguing title, "A Letter To The Rain-god"----drew me in and I wasn't disappointed!

Enjoyed this gently expressed piece of poetic writing!

(smiles) Awwwwwwwwww, yay, this had me feel like singing in the rain, yay! (kiss on cheek) You always write such downfalls of beauty in your words and rainstorms of colors, sweet friend, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
