 . . To-day it rained. Like the skies had opened up their patio doors and persuaded heaven's tears to join in matrimony with the salty droplets that refused to cease spilling from my dispirited eyes. The bloated, offending clouds dried up with envy of this surreal union, and a blazing sun appeared just long enough to paint a rainbow with the fervent colours flowing like ribbons from my melting heart. To-day it rained . . . Chris Barker 2002 ~~~~ |

Chris...Intense feeling...like a cloudburst. Not easy to say so much in a few words, but you managed to, and do it well.  |

 (smiles) There should always be times like these when we are rejuvenated, cleansed yet again, and feel exactly how such miracles of life can simply do their doing upon us! (kiss on cheek) Yay, I can't wait for more rain here, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shien upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

I only play outside at night or when it rains; I love both times. I like this poem a lot. Thank you for sharing it. |

Wow, the heavens wanted to share in your sadness... Well, I’m glad they also sent you a colored bridge, to show you the connection you both have... Nightshade, you, and your poem, were heaven sent... Richy |
