tender raindrops surround me

falling from the sky

I look up at the sky

the sky surrounds me

I am happy here

the raindrops are happy here

the earth surrounds me

music from the birds surround me

I am happy here

She Knew

you have to journey

     through rough fires

to be able to stay in

     this world

is the journey

     worth it ?

she knew 

     it was when

     as she notices

     the rivers of rain falling

across a dark granite wall

     and

she knew 

     when she hears

     the music of thunder

she knew when

     on a rainy day she

was able mellow 

     and dream

     she knew when she 

     felt the

yes yes yes

     and let her mind

     wonder 

Lost Her

I have lost her  …..

Where did she go?

I know she is gone.

I don’t know where.

I miss her.  she is/was

so much a part of me, 

I try 

hoping to find her again.

trying to remember 

what made her come … 

what made her go

so I can find her again

but can’t

she is just gone.

I have lost her ….

I miss her.
