Rain!












Cosmos stooped
Over stone today.
Raindrops ran their
Rail into shadow.
Nothing is really alone.
All our roots are there.
Where raindrops go,
Stems lean, life shares.

  2. Beautifully expressed! I absolutely love the interconnections you've made here. I had to comment using my old, inactive Blooger account, otherwise Blogger won't let me comment.

    1. Thanks, Mother Wintermoon. Your clickable current site is scrolled in the sidebar here, with a snippet of text. Hope that suffices for now.

    1. Emma, we've been without rain for so long we try to capture it even with photos and words, any way we can.

  4. Again, I have to say that Norma's photography leaves me speechless. Your poems add an extra touch. Here your words force the reader to take yet an other look at the photo, then make the reader realize that they would have missed out the rain drops on the stems of the Cosmos.

    1. Perceptive Munir, life indeed is filled with mechanisms of astonishing subtlety.

  5. I'm so glad you've gotten rain. And that you wrote this poem, and that Norma took this photo. I like to think the cosmos is leaning down to look at her wet toes.

  6. O Jenny, I love the idea of Cosmos investigating her wet toes.

  8. Beauty bowed,
    Over stones today,
    Rain ran a race none can match
    During day or night,
    Where are are our roots?
    Deep in the ocean,
    Washing the shore
    With our conscience
    Ness.

  9. Loved this and I, too, took a second look at the photo after reading slowly. Glad I've discovered your site. Don't recall how I got here but the internet linkings let me wander. I'm grateful. Kim in PA
