The Song of the Rain

[poeticasylum1]

As the rain falls,
I can hear the song.
Melodies of passion,
rhythms of love undone.
The drum of the marching thunder
accompanies the steel drums
pulsating against the roofs
of tin and wood.
Somebody's in pain,
somebody's in love,
somebody's in lustful bliss,
I look up and recieve each tender drop's kiss.
A good way to hide tears,
A good way to listen,
to the cars driving over puddles,
the moonlight glistens.
I cant get over the rain,
in my heart.
Perhaps the song of the rain,
will sooth.
Send a message to God,
Lord, dont disturb this groove.

My favorite lines from one of our most gifted AC poets.

Surely such a sincere supplication/passionate prayer from 1 who has been touted as 'one of our most gifted poets...' (a posted position which i enthusiastically endorse) will reach desires-of-the-heart-granting GOD & be greeted with an answer in the affirmative.

The calm after the storm is coming.

Very soothing indeed.
You, good sir, have talent in spades...
