Rain (two Shadorma’s)

November 19, 2017 by Betty Hayes Albright

.

.

There are times

love is a fine rain

misting down

all for naught

evaporating before

it can hit the ground

.

but sometimes

love peels back the rain

exposing sun

sending heat

palpitations to the earth

handing us a rose.

.

The beauty of true love has it price it would seem.

  Sometimes it seems we don’t have much control over it.

You captured it again – the essence of a complex emotion in a few lines. No fancy words but none are needed this close to the truth. Ah, for that rose.

  Thank you, Kim! (The photo is of my “Peace Rose” that I had to leave behind when we moved a few years ago. It truly was sweet!)
  Hope you’ve had a good day!

Beautiful depiction of love in shadorma form, and that rose at the end is a perfect reward, Betty. 💓

Lovely. And wish I could attach a photo I took this morning of my tiny fragrant cultivated wild rose blossoms in a delicate vase brought back to me by a friend from Japan. We don’t get to grow roses in Hawaii unless we’re at really high altitudes (and we’re not). But this rose was brought back from Pololu Valley by a friend many years ago, and planted in her yard. She gave me a slip and I finally got it to grow and bloom! So I’ll take this poem personally today, thank you very much! ❤ Happy Birthday, by the way! :))))

  It was fun, but I prefer the flow of free form most times, or Haiku. Variety is good. 🙂
