Tomorrow comes to pause just beyond the shadow realm
The rains of me, always-seeming hushed amidst in overwhelm
As if my heart a sponge at times to soak the seas inside
And sometimes heavy with the dew of you that I can never hide

A tropical regression, for there is not sadness such
A moments lost succession in the absence of your touch
When strikes require nourishment from hungers chiseled grip
This soothing still remembers, calmed from core to fingertip

Ephemeral behavior turned within and so without
A gentle look inside, the time it takes to think about
As even other company, replenishment is sought
And even in the rains of me, well cared to rainbow brought

Tomorrow comes, it hums against the haze of promise kept
And from the deep of solitude the brighter side is leapt
A skip of stones, in cheery tones, becomes a mantra bright
For me to see repeatedly these oceans set to light

All of this is beautiful, but this ending
just really touched me. It's so beautiful
Thank you for sharing your art, Kathleen.

This poem was, in a word, amazing. I have always had a distinct interest in the works of others. I love poetry, and your has been added in my memory as something of pure beauty. Look forward to more of your exuberant way of expressing this craft that is the English language.

TD,

Tomorrow comes, it hums against the haze of promise kept
And from the deep of solitude the brighter side is leapt
A skip of stones, in cheery tones, becomes a mantra bright
For me to see repeatedly these oceans set to light

And in you we see the beauty light, the brighter side, the promise. Yes, my friend, you have brought me these in your verse and in your kind replies.

Beautifully written,
Patricia
