Days of Heavy Rain
On days of heavy rain
tears from sad eyes
fall like drops from
gray cloud skies
Once, words sometimes
flowed like streams trickling
over polished rocks ---
Sometimes they rushed past --
torrents that broke through
crumbling dams holding
hesitant reservoirs of thought .
Sometimes they were
riotous tumultuous floods --
now, they ooze,
almost stop -- rarely, now
even meandering through
dry debris cluttering
the arid channels
of this aged mind.....
