Rain Whispers

Rain Whispers

Tender and fragrant
the tiny drops of rain feel feather soft
as they sprinkle my upturned face
the roar of the tide, somehow dimmed
as the rain on the beach whispers

Walking through the mists of an early morning fog
delicate wisps of icy tendrils lace between my ankles
the sand gives way to my footsteps
the ocean washes them away
all thoughts wash out to sea
feeling small, peaceful...free

tender and fragrant
the tiny drops feel feather soft
as they sprinkle my upturned face...
and the rain.....whispers

Daver Austin Date: 4/1/2009 1:53:00 PM What a breezy little tidbit. Love it. what part of the rockies were you talking about? I grew up in Denver. Am I close or are you on the coast?

Keith Bickerstaffe Date: 3/31/2009 5:28:00 PM Gorgeous imagery and exquisite phrasing... such an atmosphere you've created! I love it when the rain whispers. I was on the beach once in the early morning. I was shrouded in fog, and the moisture in the air covered my face... Well done Trudy! Best wishes, Keith (PS I'm gonna be cheeky and ask you to look at 'Nightscapes;' ...it's a tribute to T.S. Eliot and I'd like your opinion.) Thanks!! Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 2/16/2009 10:06:00 AM Trudy, isn't it amazing how the sea makes us feel so small, and the rain becomes part of us. Whispering rain is such a nice way to describe the gentle patter of nature's gift. Love this work! Carolyn Login to Reply
