Finally the fall of rain creep creep the morning along the quickening slow go slow today from fasting holds a fortune call them little pieces of torment and change a rag to rage the indifferent dirt split and narrow crease of sorrow hanging tree so glory bound dry golden brown in stages curtained to the naked almost gone a cage fast from cloud escapes the hungry night and the brittle leaf the weeping keeps then falls all grace of mending water come save day |

This rain sings its song and you have recorded it ever so beautifully, dear Martie. This water's sacredness has been acknowledged by your fantastic pen. Love, Margherita |

yes, dear lady, yes indeed, saves the day. Profound write, which leaves the reader to ponder his/her own reflection. But then, you always seem to initiate a great deal of insight and love. Hope all is well with you and yours. Hugs to ya Lee J. |

A bit here, a piece there, independent, almost unrelated parts of a single whole....and gradually the real of it becomes clear. I love it when poem does this, and you do it so very well. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Martie, I love this poem! The rain is just beginning here. "today from fasting holds a fortune call them little pieces of torment and change a rag to rage the indifferent dirt split and narrow crease of sorrow" |

Very nice expression Martie I surely do love the end because it closes the reflection so well. Eric |

You actually make rain desirable Martie, and I would trade you right now for all my snow. ![]() |
