veil the sun with mists of pillared cloud and yellow streaks with bursts of cracklings, loud breathe the wind and race it through the trees dance the darkness bright on feathered breeze your rumbling cannons echo through the skies exploding thunderous music of cloudrise ---you write my heart. I miss you so... |

I just love extended apostrophe like this, in reference to nature. The fact that you accomplished it so smoothly and all within a sonnet format, is truly impressive. You've captured such an array of storm elements in here, makes me want to run out and play in the rain.  quote: This stanza is my favourite. Excellent choice for submission, glad I got the opportunity to read it. Parasite "Faith" means the will to avoid knowing what is true. |

Only you could paint such a stormy sky and make me want to embrace it. How good to see your smile, and read words again. You have been greatly missed, dear friend. Namaste, and Peace. |

I hope we see you around here more often!! Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.--Jesus Christ |

I am so glad I chanced in here today. This poem is absolutely gorgeous and I cannot say enough how I know the feelings expressed here. It is an exhilleration I only feel with the aproach of the thunderstorm. I have a whole book of poetry called a Song in the Rain for just this reason. I am adding this gem to my library. I sorely miss seeing your beauty and wit in here. I whisper a prayer for your health and happiness whenever I think of you and that is often. Love and healing hugs, Sherry Cherish the good memories of the past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow. But above all... be kind to yourself today.

Lyra, Sweet friend. I think of you so often. And your poetry, in part, reminds me why! You certainly get my vote. But then you've always known that. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Lyra, this is so beautifully done. Gorgeous! This one is a must for the book! It was great to speak with you last night on the phone, and a special treat to hear that you remembered the greeting card that I sent to you when you first joined Passions. I wish that I could come out in the Spring to meet you. That would be a really special treat too! Remember ~ our God is a God of miracles. |
