Come To Me Sweet First October Rain

I'm not a wild flower I'm not a hillside meadow, I'm nothing more than dormant grass hiding in a rocky mountain's shadow. Lifeless at the edges, Evergreen turned brown, stepped upon by footsteps from the villian of the town. The summer is too long The summer is too dry, Where is the green keeper Where are the grazing pastures Where is the early red flamed sky? Come to me Sweet first October rain Come to me with spuming bubbles of champagne, Sprinkle softly against my ear, every lettter of your name. Come to me, Give me back the sparkle, Cover me with glitter, Do not let me die! Do not let me wither! Bring me back to life, Wash me over with your musky and earthy smell, Wrap me in a blanket of fluffed polar silver pearl. Come to me Sweet first October rain, Let me bathe in gentle waters, Let me soak,let me grow stronger, in the outpour of your claim. I'm not a wild flower I'm not a hillside meadow I am nothing more than dormant grass hiding in a mountain's shadow. Come to me Sweet first October rain, Splash me green and greener, Drizzle fresh drops on my pain. Come to me Sweet first October rain Come to me with spuming bubbles of champagne, Sprinkle softly against my ear every letter of my name.

Beautiful and captivating, and the repeated lines enrich this lyrical poem, Charm. The endearing title attracts and tempts the reader. Your presence on Soup brings a breath of fresh air. ~ Regards // paul

Hi, been quite a while since your last poem. September is my favourite month even though there are many climate changes. But I appreciate those sparse showers. Improves the wine harvest. Great lyric. Very melodious.

Simple words are all I need. Someone mintioned a phrase to me "Word salad" that we do not need to use to excess but use none the less. Love T,S.

So beautiful and painful... like summer worn and tattered and in need of renewal - or in the metaphor of the seasons - rebirth. May your wishes be fulfilled.... as the season softens and turns. Well done!

Dormant grass hiding in a mountain's shadow... I think we all feel like withered vegetation at times. Pray for the healing rains to make us feel alive and green again. As always, I love your poetry, and your return.
