Rain The rain sweeps down upon my face And covers it with bleeds of lace It runs right down my chin and nose And drops upon my barefoot toes. The rain is warm the clouds are gray The gentle breeze a steady stay. The dark impairs horizons view But when it’s gone all will be new. The sun will come to light my day And flowers open up and stay And butterflies will fly once more And drink the nectar of the core. And I will walk the valley’s green To play among the unforeseen And say a little prayer of grace This rain that bleeds upon my face Come walk with me the rain is good It is the food of hardihood. |

I would walk with you barefoot in the rain ... I'd walk with you till me toes went insane.  I'd walk with you in hail, sleet and snow ... where ever you go ... this moth would be in tow. I'd walk with you thru "Hell's hath no fury" fire ... the place where Randy gets his desire's inspire. I'd walk with you till the end of time ... walk with you till we ran out of rhyme. And when we walk all the way to infinities end ... we'll walk backwards to the begin and then do it all again. *winkiewinkie*   Unknown to us, there are moments when crevices open for time to come alive with begining. |

Good morning Sy ... hmmmm....Florida rain sure is different than Boston rain. It rained so hard here on Saturday that it was raining sideways. And there was nothing warm or poetic about it! I think I'll be down to walk in your rain ... This was very enjoyable, thank you. Hugs, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

playful and refreshing...a lovely shower in spite of the hint of pain in the "bleeds of lace" line I enjoyed the rain, your poetic refrain Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

The sun will come to light my day And flowers open up and stay And butterflies will fly once more And drink the nectar of the core. Sunshine after the rain is just beautiful. Everything smells so fresh and is shining through remaining raindrops. Enjoyed. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Nay, warm Sun is still behind the gray she shall not appear today but never mourn for the rain shall bear the sweetening of a soul's repair |

After so many days of rain, it's hard to look out on more drizzle with favor... but your poem somehow makes me appreciate the rain... if not its intrusions into my car, my apartment, and my shoes. LOL Well done, Seymour! *S* [This message has been edited by suthern (10-28-2002 05:04 PM).] |

Seymour darling heart when you write the world stills to read the words of wonder I love this utterly utterly. Enjoy your trip darling man and when you feel the rain think of me since it is probably raining here, in England it seems to rain perpetually. Let the rain wash away the stain Of might have been’s regretful pain And let the silent dew of hope Fill the sense with ways to cope Rinse away the taste of rue Replace it with the whole of true Pick up the chance to do it right Hold it close and see it’s light And when time brings you there To that place of do or dare Don’t hesitate to do the deed Take your chance to appease the need Accept the gift of time and fate Don’t leave your soul at regret’s gate As always Seymour another beauty I love it utterly utterly Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Seymour, "come walk with me the rain is good It is the food of hardihood" "It runs right down my chin and nose and drops upon my barefoot toes" I love these lines, in fact, I love it all.. Another gem from you SimplyGold |

Sy, I guess you have never been in Vancouver over a winter right? We have rain, rain and more rain. It is told we don't die here - we just rust away gradually. However, I loved your rain, and if it brought a brighter day I too might enjoy it, instead of 4 months of darkness and drizzle, but a small price to pay I guess for all the beauty here that surrounds me. Loved this one even if it was about the darn rain. |
