Like September Rain

Words begin to pour into my open

mind; like the glorious rain falling

in spates of expectation; then as

silent murky billows devour sky,

my eyes too become bleary;

clouding thoughts,

 

so I drift off, dream of fragrances

that gather along stony paths,

lavender – rosemary and sage;

treasures that once were hidden,

now commune.

 

Within sleep and waking hours; my

enthusiasm for writing thoughts once

more returns, and as earth soaks up

showers...drops streaming down my

window pane, I find joy in visions;

my head in the clouds, absorbing

effects of outpouring,

 

as phrases flutter like butterflies,

pen tripping the light fantastic across

paper; certainly contrast to heatwave

that settled in endless overbearing sun,

now I'm immersed – expressing myself

like September rain.

As the rain lifts the fragrances, you find your mind made fertile by the cool freshness! A pleasing metaphor. Rhiannon

what a lovely comment Rhiannon. It was such a treat to recieve, as I really thought my inspiration was drying up. It's been so frustrating not being able to write lately.

I'm so glad the metaphors worked for you too. Message to myself! 'Must pick up my pen and write more.'

Thank you so much Rhiannon, I'm very grateful.
