May Showers
By Don Iannone

Fresh rain
...innocent as a baby's smile.
Falling
...like feathers of a dove
...from the sky.
Drumming drops
...lull me to sleep, where dreams
of a sweet sunny cloverfield
fill my head.
Fresh rain
...purifying crystals
...holding the future
...tell stories
...remaining secrets no more.

  3. Sometimes I feel in the back of my mind, that the rain has never stopped, and I like that feeling. There is a reassurance to it, a future to it, like you picture in the words. It comforts me on hot and dusty days, It waters my Soul in my heart.

  5. Jim, Wonderful thoughts. Thanks for stopping by. It is another rainy day in Cleveland. That's what happens when a city emulates Portland--I guess.
