Rainsticks and Drums Native Chants and Pagan Dreams, remastered


Amazon mist  and rainy mornings green as the day God made them 
dropping from a moist sky full of even grays and sheltering light 
peaceful music playing from the spheres of a dense forest dream 
we are all little humans in a big big giant cave,  ....    the rain 
Pitter patter drops on thirsty tree in a world that is evened once again 
sheets of rain fall from my window and I click click click and glean 
a slow memory of old, photographs of mom and dad inside the garden 
we were small and happily drinking in the scene  ....          the rain 
A Sentinel watches from a soldiering evergreen, I lived there before 
the white washed walls of peace and the age old chanterelle dance  
as raindrops settle in my soul, I compose a poem about the downpour.    
Petrichor scents permeate my living space as I listen to ...        the rain 
Rainsticks and drums Native chants and Pagan dreams of old, I remember,  
Lady Gianne and her healing chants, how she lifted her face to the winds.
"Heal me now and make me whole" * " Bring peace and love forevermore"
As nature creates pathways to equity, the rain loves US,
again and again and again. ....   the rain.

Dear sweet rose, healing is a long but satisfying journey, and this is such a touching and soulful ode to the rain! I especially felt the lines “Heal me now and make me whole" * " Bring peace and love forevermore" I hope and pray that rain brings you peace and love and all that you deserve, for you and for everyone! Pleasure always reading your heartfelt poems. Sending you light always

Without it mankind would perish, love the imagery of the Amazon Vie. I've done that with a few, as we write more we get better at it and tweak old writes. Tom

What a beautiful and vivid reflection Vie. Your words capture the essence of nature's cycle so poetically—the rain as both a cleansing and unifying force, bringing peace and harmony to the world around us. A fave for me ...Hugs

Rain is always cleansing and so invigorating too Maria, when we are in the right frame of mind of course. Thanks for reading and appreciating, love
