This image inspired the following words…
Waiting for the Rain
Keep the truths away
From the windswept
Regions of my heart
For the storms have come
Before…
It is not something new
I am accustomed
To the distant rumbling
Of impending thunder
The darkened clouds
The threat of rain –
When gentle,
A blessed sign
But sometimes
The assault is rough.
You never know, do you
Before the approaching storm
Whether to shield your eyes
Or hide in the shadows
Or perhaps, it is best
To just stand still,
Knowing that even this – shall pass.
A solitary soul
Standing in a field
Waiting for the rain to fall.

Thank you dear lady! I know it seems I fell off the side of the earth, but I am still here 🙂 Things have been incredibly busy this year so I haven’t posted as much or visited. Then, summer came and I took time off away from the computer. My daughter is in her senior year of high school and there’s lot to do to prepare for her future. I am back online now and hope to post, but as you know… we can’t always predict life. It is so good to see you!!!

It’s great to hear from you – I somehow knew you hadn’t disappeared for good. Blogging should never take the place of real life 🙂

Definitely not gone… just silent for a bit. I agree… and I seriously have enjoyed spending time with the kids without deadlines and expectations.

Lying on my back, in a field, in the rain, I wonder what it would be like to be a mosquito and to be hit by a raindrop. The force must be incredible!

Beautiful, as always. It is not always that the rain is gentle as you said. Sometimes, the devastation cased by the rain or storm is beyond human understanding. 🙂

Gosh, we just had a sudden downpour and hail right before I read your comment today. Sadly, many know of its devastation. It is beautiful though, when it is gentle.
