the rain once had a virtually vibrant voice
and I heard it so very clearly
she spoke to me of challenge, chance and choice
and I listened 'oh so ' queerly
just what are you offering me I queried
in the aftermath of her storm's gracious glow
a place in which to climb out of or more simply
seeds of spring sent to sew
is this a prime example of your extreme yet unexpected
love
that breathes a richness and literal life into my mad
morning's blood
and bathes my over burdened soul like a sponge of truth
beneath vanity's faucet flood
I know not the middle letter of the alphabet off the top
of my slightly sleepy head
but I could easily enough this information come to learn
I do not know why but I chose to write often in blue yet
never red
but the newness of these 'Dawning Thoughts' still seems
to blossom and burn
maybe I could fall back into my uncreative habits of old
and if I'm lucky enough at this constructed quandary
cop myself yet another turn
soon before in the grave I am left to lie perfectly cold
with no further invested concern forgive me for what
I have yet done..............
