Read how my friend and fellow-poet, Nandita of Manan Unleashed and Manan Chained, both complimented and finely completed my original piece, “So Let It Rain.” Very nicely done … and more to come! This talented artist of poetry continues to honor and humble me. Please enjoy and, if you have not already, check out her blog sites.
In yesteryear I was caught in my own nightmare
As you walked in your stupor without a care
Unaware there was a way out and about so free
You shut your eyes and ears to the speaking tree
To be what I was meant to be in complete liberty
Disregarding the voice that would have made you truly free
In the liturgy of life without such dark misery
No matter, now you are finding back your sanctity
And the rain rains down from heaven…
To cleanse you of your burden
So let it rain
Today I’ve found my way into numinous dream
Hold it close, don’t stop flowing in that stream
That seems to hold so very much more to adore,
Yeah you still have so much more in store
Leading me to an esoteric shore in cleric garb
Without a shadow of the past playing its harp
Without cutting me adrift from gift of real life
Your eyes now open to the disguised strife
And the rain rains down from heaven…
To cleanse you of your burden
So let it rain
Tomorrow my vision will walk without derision
And you see the beauty of life with precision
In divine decision to provision my destiny,
Preordained with meaning and skillful mastery
Turning my mourning into dancing in the waves
Tarantism you feel as your uninhibition leaves
Of the world, saying farewell to plight of night
You embrace with all your heart this new light
And the rain rains down from heaven…
To cleanse you of your burden
So let it rain..
So let it rain
You have no idea how much I’m enjoying this. I connect rather well to you, dear friend
I’m so very glad… It’s an altogether unique pleasure and privilege for me! All the best to you w/blessings
