Bare your Soul

Your tears fall like the ceaseless drizzle
teeming down outside,
and rolling across the heavens
the thunder bears your dissent.
A lightning bolt of reason
brings silence to the deluge,
and the weight starts to lift
as the lingering mist fades away...

  3. Why oh why Verena, must some of us have to live almost 80 years before we can experience those last two very special
    lines??:

    "... and the weight starts to lift
    as the lingering mist fades away..."

    Also remembering "Old soldiers never die...."

    BUT--Happy? YES! Joyful? YES! READY? Yes!!

    NOTE: I see such TRUTH in your writing, woman! PEACE!

  4. I have an affinity for thunder and lightning. If that's what it takes to restore reason then maybe the entire planet needs a one world storm.
