In The Crook Of Rain Puddles consort on the whitewashed sidewalks Falling drops, like pearls in break away from strands A melody sent to soothe the earth, a lullaby Pattering the window frame, tapping…tapping Dimming lights, and blowing flames to snuff These heavy lids, against the white tight necks Of long and longer days A happy sleep, where hushed contradictions Slip beneath the sheets of misty dreams Rocking to sleep the parched and paper flowers Shimmering the wee of hours spent and done Gone and soaked into the pours of thirsty souls Tapping…tapping Soft upon the night lace that fringes gentle breaths Spirits truly, not earthbound but speckled in Their play upon the captivated end of day Copyright Kkh 9/27/03 |

Dimming lights, and blowing flames to snuff These heavy lids, against the white tight necks Of long and longer days A happy sleep, where hushed contradictions Slip beneath the sheets of misty dreams Where hushed contradictions slip.... Love this .... |
