September Rain

The air is cool - full of rain
thunder storms await Its
been so hot of late so
hard to breathe in
fresh air


I awake this morn to find it
rained in the night - great
I walk raindrops hold
fast to the leaves
and branches


You can smell the rich earth
you can hear the earth
renew as inside the
womb out of sight

 A gentle rhythm life beats on
unseen in the deep dark
soft and silent so rich
is the heartbeat you
only feel a slight
pulse


Take a deep breath
breathe in the
richness this
earthiness


Sky so grey - hangs
heavy with rain all
my teardrops
just waiting
to fall


They are never enough
as they continue to
refill the oceans
the streams


They rise and fall again the
constant circle of life –
me always going
around and
around in
circles


Forests green water falls flow
over rocks the sound of pan
pipes sing earths magic
melody


Skies darken - winds howl
take shelter - dying winds
breathe on meAm I alive?

September Rain

E B Me always walking alone in the shadows of the day and night. Dark shadows call to me they are my only companion. I drift in and out of their presence feeling the loneliness the absense of others - Me just longing to know that I am alive can I will I ever feel the touch of another ever again so that two can walk in the rain share the night sky the moon and stars maybe share the sunrise again together Electric blue

I remember when I was starving the clarity

the spiritual waves Here I have much I see I moan but really its quite satisfying so much I recieve on wavelengths and when I feel I am not I am outside like tonight before dusk tramping the woods up by the creek the little pocket where there are no trails between highways I kept saying one day keep saying this but I wonder if it will ever be what I want so many poets famous and well known through their letters associates and written books tell us that many searched for the magic essence of what ever it is that we dream of and like a movie line said from a good movie "Its a good dream" I dreamt one day to write poetry and Im doing this and long before I was here in this relationship I dreamt of something even less then what I have we are here until you reach your shore reading your star filled wishs I remember the gleam and glean of mine still and you are writing such great poetry its falling into place I can feel this in your words thank you

This is a wonderful poem, with great depth. We waited all Summer for the rains to come and now they finally have. I've been sick in bed, (but luckily I have my lap top) listening to the rain beat down on the roof. What a lovely symphony it makes. I hope you are well. Always, Cat

CAT I just love listening to the rain falling through the trees leaf onto leaf I can watch for hours. I watch the journey as rain drops fall against my window pane. Rain falling on the metal roof on top of the car. The orchestra of the elements play a wonderful overture the magic melody of falling tears. I do hope you are feeling better. Sorry to hear you are not well. What would we be where would we be without our laptops me it is my only communication my world. Me really tired working 12hrs shifts in my job. So just a zombie for a while but waiting at the bus and tram stops to travel into work i wait on my own with the magic melody calling to me each drop another note to play. others may think standing alone in the cool damp dark night rain falling I am not alone as i have the music of the night all to myself. always my friend Electric blue Magz

As usual you paint the scene with images the majority of us don't even see or if we do, we just take for granted. Once again your work made me stop in my tracks and open my mind to my own memories, in this case, of rain...beautiful piece. Totally loved this one.

HS I just love the rain soft and fast all the elements my senses are heightened. so many people do really miss what is in front of them. There is a lot of beauty in the world and i ususally see most of the worse. So just taking a walk is always different alone as usual. I feel in a different dimension to everyone else always Electric Blue

Lyz Just me alone as always I seem to merge with the elements I can see hear and become one. I feel their heart beat their gentle pulse as their tears merge with mine as I fill the oceans and streams. Always Electric Blue I want to smile again but that has been lost for a long time now.

Maggie,

you do indeed have a unique talent to paint whole landscapes with your words. This is a truly sensual rain poem, very enjoyable to read. And then, you bring the "I" into it, asking: "Am I alive?" That makes me feel like the "I" has only just woken up, I imagine this question being asked in a dreamy voice, just as the rain girl sounded in the audio of one of my childhood favs, a fairytale in which the children must find the rain girl and wake her, because the country needs rain so badly... Yours, ~Nina

Nina I meant alive in being always alone Why when i long to be with someone I am not alone in as much as when I walk in nature to hear a raindrop fall onto a leaf to leaf creating earths magical orchestra. always maggie xx
