Robin L. Gass Poet Quatrain

Oh Gentle Rain

Oh gentle rain
come to me now
please wash this pain from me
in lifes unkindness I'm immersed
and need to be set free

Oh gentle breeze
please breathe new life
into this dying soul
from my travels I am weary
refresh and make me whole

Oh flowers sweet
let me hide
among your beauty fair
touch me with your loveliness
and leave your beauty there

Oh come to me
in kindness please
with your gentle ways
the world it has inflicted me
and darkened all my days

Oh come to me
and touch my heart
please change this dark to light
take away the ugliness
that turned my day to night

Carolyn Devonshire February 19, 2009 at 7:46 PM Robin, I can truly sense your pain in this sad but beautiful poem. Again I must say, your poetry inspires me. And I feel that you are my friend, and wish I could have been there for you when you lost your son, just as Barbara was for me. Thanks for reading "Blizzard." Barbara's life is harder than you can imagine, but she is so spiritual that she always overcomes adversity. I see that quality in you as well. Love, Carolyn

Michael Degenhardt February 11, 2009 at 5:39 AM This speaks so clearly of want, the desire to make better, the new days of spring (rebirth into the light) and the personal depths we as people fall into. A lovely flow and tone to this with a terrific use of imagery. Michael
