From My Eyes

One lasting drop of rain... One teardrop shy of pain... Only puddles are soon left... Only blurred eyes from tears wept... Cloudy skys that move in haste... Cloudy thoughts that have a taste... A raging fire that pours with words... A raging poem that can still be heard...

Loved that last line Michael. the way you build the 'fire' here to consume is mastery.

I don't see this as sad Michael, if we can still experience all this, it is an indication that we are still alive.. okay that is just me being silly I guess.. enjoyed this, especially love the "A raging fire that pours with words..." line.. love Wilma
