Poem

I also wrote this poem back in 2003. I wrote it in recognition of my mother. I remember alot when we were younger just sitting and watching the rain. Everytime it would rain we would get a blanket and open the door and watch it fall. It always made me wonder why she loved to watch the rain.

****************

Savoring the moment

Savoring the dream

Stay still for a moment

I'm savoring the gleam.

It will all make sense one day

It will all come together.

It will all be worth the wait.

Still I struggle to endevor.

So at last I met myself.

So at last we've become aquainted.

With myself hand in hand

With myself I am so belated.

Silent raindrops trickle in the forest.

Slides down the notch of giant trees.

Soaks the cotton in my shoes.

Soaks the cracks inside my feet.

Moisture tappers in my jacket

Dew surrounds my hair and cheeks

And all the time I've stood her standing

Becomes the same time I've waited for me.

It would be cold

If not for humidity

It would be cold

If not for the gust of heat.

It would be cold

If not for the heart

That whimpers

In every beat.

It longs for human contact

It longs for many things

It shouts and it murmers

It dances and it sings.

Savoring this emotion

Savoring the time

Savoring the love

Savoring the mind.

No words bring justice to what you are to me.

No words can define

No words can explain

No words can relate

all the love that I contain.

Rays of light shine through

Reflects off the rain.

Reflects off my eyes

Reflects off in vain.

My hands open and I drop

everything I have been holding on to.

All the walls that I have made.

All the broken bridges shattered.

Reminants of memories carried

All the milestones that mattered.

I don't need them any longer

I can remember on my own

Savoring the soul

Savoring the bone.

Something about this amazes me

I marvel and I cease

Something about the Rain

Something about it's peace.

Savoring the atmosphere

Savoring the weather

Savoring without measure.

I take for granted my own sight.

I take for granted inside shelter.

I take for granted Serenity.

I take for granted Rainy Weather.
