Any Drop of Rain

It's trying to rain

on our world,

always takes me by surprise


Reaching up,

earth appears

closer now,

than sky.


Been falling, falling,

falling now,

takes me by surprise,

crying out my name - arriving.


Any drop of rain like this,

settled to the dust,

has breathed me,

smiled me,

unafraid to touch.


Any drop of rain like this,

wetting down the highway

has looked for me,

spoke with me,

loved, said goodbye.


Words for what remains

draw out present time,

as if all would disappear,

unable to express

all this trying to rain.

Eveyone's wings

Read between the lines

bring to mind...what words obscure

as they attempt...to contain the inner state.

the power of certain words is unmistakable

the power of certain words in what truly transpires

is unmistakable. They move us along.

We are in motion

we move toward certainty

whether we know or not

one cannot live in empty words indefinitely

they simply do not carry one along

only fall away, can't keep up with what you've become

one taste of native tongue will make you feel

how alive you are also. as alive and unmistakable

as song, enables flight........
