I gazed out the wet window pane
at relentless rain beating
upon a weak opening.

Yesterday, the very sound of it
might have stirred deep feelings
of regret, of love's loss and pain.

But today it offers refreshment,
the way it does a thirsty desert.
Today is a Saint-Exupery Day!

For I can hear him say over the thunder:

"What makes the desert beautiful,
is that somewhere, it hides a well."

Your use of personified emotional metaphore is most wonderful, I like, yes! This desert is one that would have many foot prints, if the wind didn't whipe them away.

Excellent. We need more days where we seek the well instead of regret the sand.

Kacy’s ‘poetic well’ truly runs deep, fine,
and clear!.....

I cannot in any way ‘improve’ on the
comments already made by several
fine poets (on this lovely website)
about Kacy’s poem (especially the
comment from “Pilgrimage”
...any more than I could EVER
write a better poem than this!
[....tis a far, far better ‘voice’ heard
here “over the thunder”...than the
one that ‘spoke’ to me in ‘Time’s
attic’...in my “Litanies in Time” write!]
