You became my undeserved gift Showing me your magical touch Providing an angelic lift Something I had needed so much My heart like barren desert floors Lying scorched under the orb of fear You promised thunderous downpours My soul quaking as the storms near Fear I’ll break with your touch so strong That I’ll be lost within the storm You soothe me with hypnotic song Within your eyes the storm clouds form Dance of silver droplets begin Steam rises as you touch me Cool drops cover me like satin My senses acute and running free Scents of fire and rain fill the air Lightening cuts the sky like a knife Quenching thirst of need with sweet care Showering my soul with love and life As you move the heavens and earth Passion calls with thunder and light I’m in awe of my own rebirth As the storm rages on with might The torrent fills and soaks me through With thunderous cries you delight A net of light holds our love true The heavens glow as we unite Rain falls with hypnotic pleasures Calling barren earth to join you Uncovering hidden treasures Around us desert flowers grew You promised peace with the ending rain I begged you not to let me go You said goodbye, we’d meet again Then you wrapped me in a rainbow |

If you are wrapped in a rainbow then you were not left alone. Just a new way of protecting you I believe. There is still gold at the end of the rainbow and maybe getting wet when it rains is not as bad as you have always deamed it to be. Some storms need to be ridden and can do damage, but, others can be enjoyed in the warmth of someone else's arms and heart if the hues are received as they are and are allowed to paint a picture of tomorrow. In time , my friend, In time you will learn to paint in life the way you do with your words.  |

BDC, Beautiful and descriptive writing my friend. So nice to see this one again. Hoping all is well with you. **HUGS** Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
