Let the Poem Breathe

Its ok
to read a poem silently
let the words flit about the soul 
like ember glow
or hummingbird wings. 
Read a poem silently
read it slow-seductively
let the words breathe
like spring rain.

Anthony.. I don't know how you come up with last phrase..."let the words breathe like the rain." Just beautiful. Will be thinking of that all day as the rain kisses the earth in California.Thank you. Panagiota
