A Vision In the Rain

As the branches fall away
and the night has cast her spell,
as my form is disappearing
and I sink into inkwells


A campfire is burning down 
cooling embers warm my mind,
and within this wordless vessel
empty hollows can’t hold rhyme


I wondered what to do
till the fire was my friend,
And then it finally hit me
that I’ll never write again


And all the wordless poems
drifting without names,
now none will ever be written
my passion lost its flame


Those silly little rages
that roared around my head,
snuffed out all my dreams
my visions now lay dead


But when I brushed the stars
as I sometimes did,
I gasped in awe and wonder
as my head was hung and hid


This magic that was shared
and seared within my veins,
will live among my memories
as burning scores to stain


I will miss your gentle missives
sent throughout the night,
I will miss the love and friendship,
that glowed within the lights


And it’s always at the last
my heart does pause in pain,
but with all my being I love you
may we meet inside the rain


Always look for a Tail
that curls around the moon,
know that its my message
and I’m spinning round the room


Adieu and goodbye
are words I cannot say,
maybe I shall save them
until my dying day


Until a magic rainbow
calls me from stalled time,
my word waits in the grotto
I’ve built within my mind…


And now I have to go
with gentleness,no pain,
knowing that I’ll see you
as Rainbows Bloom Again.
