All Seems Well Again

Rain descends like heavens anguish on streets Where souls cower in doorways, shivering. A mindset pervades the city – that’s mine. More by urgent need ignore the deluge! I think of magic and incantations. I think of prayers and words of power. I think of souls whose time is not their own. I think in awe – divine intervention. Sheets of rain wash the streets like water On a tray. The cities tilting as a sea Saw and dizzy notions gather in pools Along its gutters – divine intervention? Just then the rain stops abruptly, clouds pass Mindset disperses – all seems well again!

Excellent images of the rainfall and the way it stops abruptly could be a sign of divine intervention brought on by prayer. Enjoyed reading your work, David. Hope all is well with you. Love, Carolyn
