Of Light and Rain

Of Light and Rain

Thought:

The Hybrid Nature of Love

reveals it self in the ledges leading

to soreness and joy

Act:

The chance we catch the right drop

once we start running

is neither bigger

nor smaller -

the rain keeps falling

blindly – so it was

said and understood and raising

both our hands

we sat on the ground

legs slightly crossed

just admiring, waiting

and getting all

divinely

wet

Hallucination:

Approaching the skyline

from that east end slope, tiny ash

particles, dancing

squeezing their amazingly

thin

gravitational center

in erratic circles

until almost touching

the ground – by then, literally

vaporizing and slowly

fading up into

the blue

anew

Comprehension:

The light

reminded me of one of Rembrandt's famous

paintings – such a timeless device to play with

eternity should endure

forever -

and yet I could now

feel my bones

soaking

and my flesh began

aching; thus

we got up and back we went

through that narrow, scary ledge

only

this time, we

felt

joy
