After what seemed a forever trudge through this hostile, barren, unforgiving vapid expanse, I took pause and sought shade from the unrelenting flame of disconnection that the environs of my isolation afforded. A vicarious air seemed to always haunt me with ramblings of bygone failure and loss. My thirst found no escape. My heart found no shadow. As hope seeped slowly from my soul, delusional thoughts began their inevitable pervasive search for reality. From what could only be conceived in a dream, I began to feel an aqueous vapor surrounding me. In this providential state, my lips tasted the life giving softness of love's rain bringing revival and rewarding need with renewal. I bathed in this shower. It cleansed me of the dust of dissolution. As its intensity subsided, I was rewarded again with its petrichor of pleasurable hope. I rose in peace and began anew as life with purpose must claim...

Thank you Arthur and a special shout out to you for being so generous to my grandson. That was so kind of you. He's so excited about being a " published poet"...

Wow Charlie, you must have gotten this in just under the wire. I was going to write another poem for this contest but wasn't fast enough. I already posted on on rain, but it a wasn't what she was asking for. "In this providential state, my lips tasted the life giving softness of love's rain bringing revival and rewarding need with renewal. I bathed in this shower." What awesome lines! I hope this is a big winner for you! #7 ; )
