Praying For Rain -Chris D Aechtner-

Praying For Rain (collaboration with-Chris D. Aechtner) by~ CHRIS D. AECHTNER: She resembles a ghost from the past, and I wonder how long she will last? There is no turning back- cannot turn my back on her now. Watching the sea slowly reclaim this pearl, I can see just a hint of the girl, shimmering beneath a film of sickness. She still smiles through a frown of pain, strengthening my resolve to see this through, to make sure we both equally gain. And when the waves finally pull her away, pull out her dying breath, will she transform back into rain? She leans on me, light as a feather. So light and fragile. There is no turning back- cannot turn my back on her now. Watching the sea slowly reclaim this pearl, I can see just a hint of the girl, shimmering beneath a veil of sickness. Hold her hand, hand her back a smile, I am praying for rain, praying for rain. *** by~ POET D: Feel her peace, Listen for her voice, I am praying for rain, praying for rain. My dreams will always wonder in her field of rain. A journey withered under the wavy seas. There is no turning back- cannot turn my back on her now. Watching the sea slowly reclaim this pearl, I can see just a hint of the girl, shimmering beneath a veil of sickness. Light as a feather, I fell her Autumn sun, I feel her presence, her sickness is gone, upon my face I feel the moonlight rain. At last she is leaving behind these wiping tears. Her rain-less eyes now open the seas and skies, pouring her jewels of purity in to my heart. There is no turning back- cannot turn my back on her now. Watching the sea slowly reclaim this pearl, I can see just a hint of the girl, shimmering beneath a veil of sickness. She is the ghost from my past and I pray for this essence of her rain to last.
