rainy days
It's been awhile...a new/old friend of mine recently wrote a poem about the rain that has been omnipresent these last two weeks.Solace in the Rain
The rain decorated
the nighttime pavement
with a glittering tango
of concentric circles.
Man-made lights shimmered
in their reflection off liquid mirrors
created by nature’s geometric drain.
Both rain and sorrow easily found refuge
along paths of least resistance,
down dark alleys
and through the clouded hearts
of the lonely people,
settling for solace
at lower ground.
Strange, like receiving a life raft
from the Gods
desperate souls revived
their drowning spirits
by releasing their tears
into the moisture
of the nighttime air.
No one would ever know,
as rain and tears make love
in the darkness and
Mother Nature issued
a reminder with her morning sun:
that with Father Time
this, too, shall pass
…and no one would ever know.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Greg and Eric!
