Rainy Daze

“Rainy day, dream away Ah let the sun take a holiday Flowers bathe an' ah see the children play Lay back and groove on a rainy day” Jimi Hendrix 1968 A weep at first to cure a thirst becomes a cloud bursts fray the earth sips deep of questionings glyphs a mind soon returns to youthful puddle playing daze the dream’ intend is for a drought to end a return to stationary and normal weather ways the clouds return, the soil stops burning a relief is provided by providence or bye chance one’s yearnings the grifting natures; of humanity in a “Three Card Monty” played a slight of hand does so stand against the awe of simpler times the rain now comes with the gusting winds a bind to bond twined powers play into a more potent and fearsome slam the hours pass, the rain at last becomes that three in one parley a rage, a warn, a worry; uncompromisingly formed the banks of clouds as the banks becloud a swirling weather pool of raging flood potential the water falls like the “Bridal Veil” a most profoundly fear filled sight especially at late snow thaw’s height the imaginations reared by a downpour’ tears a Heaven scent or Hell is on, in an unrelenting pain the mix of these astounds one’s ease a lament; for in pain is drinking water gained the odds are indeed and in an oddity a tit-for-tat; “the good for bad, gets ugly” the rain, a pleasure’ sheen or on this day death and wet demons a fiasco; living’ fresco; an echo slimmed or splendored the conflict bred of want or life’s simple needs a gift in sweetness given, or a warning from the highest Heavens the rain; without, no doubts, we die; no other options are given a thought therefore proves necessarily necessary the truth is a daze our world is ablaze a rainy daze redemption’s bless is daringly caring the source from which these blessings flow a Heavenly respite; a gift this day and night the result therefore is thinking’s cower a reaction to reaction’; its time for profound reflections fore the daze to come, have all “passed as this; so many times before”.
