A Whisper In the Dark

Lost in the rain, I did't see your smile...
                                Tugging on the strings of my heart for a while...
                                     I reach my hands through the darkness... 
                                     Clenching and holding all that's endless...
                                  I try to scream but whispers steal my voice...
                                 And only silence and blindness are my choice...
                             Like a drop of rain that never reaches the ground...
                             My cries of desperation fall to a all to similar sound...

Michael, okay, you know what happens when you are asking for one last round.. LOL~ you ask for another round... and here I am finding myself devoted to your words all over again. Even though i can image your soul lost in the rain. I can also feel the joyfulness that will occur once the rain reaches the grounds. All will dry, and see again... I like the mercury sting you provide. You are one of a kind and don't ever change for anyone. You will always be my number #1 poet by far. My cries, have no ending, ... And you my, dear Michael will achieve all the same sounding smiles... take care,..PD
