A Rainy Morning

the dimness
of this dawn
cannot cloud
my thoughts
that rise
flushed
across my flesh

i thirst for you
more than this soil
thirsts for rain
as it falls
airily down
surrounding me
in whispered breaths

passion unfolds
in blushed hues
across dream's horizon
where the flickers of stars
still dance within
the edges of azure
peering back
beneath the clouds

i feel the warmth
encompassing me
despite this rain
falling down
as dawn breaks
in splashes
of thoughts
beautifully

A rainy day where clouds hover overhead and dampness lingers everywhere, but love is also in the air allowing the sun to shine in your heart. Beautifully done Sandy. This was really nice to read this morning.

Thank you Chris... sometimes we got to make our own sunshine and pretend it's not a dreary day... after being out in it half the morning i am less enthusiastic if truth be told :) hugs
