Rain On Tin Roof: What Are You Thinking 2

I The first time: "magic," they say Then taken for granted, almost alway Music from above Now unnoticed Except that first time II So, craft every time as "the first time" And often ... "The Last Time," As we live this human experiment of be-ing LISTEN, O do listen. Rain music, too, Without a tin roof, harder in auditing Missing magnificence III Human instruments, as in tin roof drums ... Listen how Wonderful Wind conducts This orchestra, swaying the drops, patterns On my African tin roof I'm evangelist and violinist So are you: Heaven and Human hear the rain Because we invented a tin roof

Thank you Sister in our Creator, salaam and shalom, shalom! Your name today is for me, "Best Mother in Listening to Music." Always worth waiting for feedback like Besma's (of course, until poets like yourself say something, I doubt if my writing is vivid enough. U encouraged me) Anil
