Kiss the Rain

Kiss the Rain Silent Reverie A still morning around the pond A “once upon a time” captured for my viewing… The wind had hushed in the tall reeds while reflections of the standing trees rested, near steady, on the surface …waivering only slighty to my eye Sitting still, absorbing the silence, watching the clouds slide along in the mirrored surface… white clouds slowly giving way to those tinted with softest grey The sun that once had blushed my cheeks slipped silently behind the greying clouds...when? …I didn’t seem to notice Its absence caught me unaware while caught up in the still beauty of the silenced moment Much too soon a rippling began on the glassed surface of the pond.. sending the trees and clouds swaying atop the waters surface as a gentle kiss of rain distorted the silent view…my reverie time finding conclusion My “once upon a time” moment had found its “the end” while the earths had just began… a kiss-the-rain, welcomed, occurance that revives its parched lands All Rights Reserved: 2/20/13

Descriptive elegance in the stillness of a pond. A moment soon to be dimissed unto the great beyond. A captured view to still the heart. A beauty that had to depart. Enjoyed your blissful kiss of rain Debra. :) mail
