Soul seeds

Photobucket.com

Washing the sins in the rain,
begging forgiveness,
you are plotting
a new adventure,
oh, restless soul!

You’re testing…
you’re testing such more of me…
you’re testing…
to explore hidden at root the seeds,
brought from another fates, constellations…

Who are they?
What lit their lantern?
What sacrificing gift
they've given to a melting pot
to synthesize in today?

Oh, omnipresent rain!
hold me tight in your flowing endeavors,
shapeless to satisfy the thirst –
if you please - clarify an eternity.

  6. After the rain, one is freshened again and ready to begin anew.....and it is easier to find that clarity one seeks.

  16. the rain is a blessing...that's what I've always said when it rains because it never rains too hard where I've lived throughout my life, even now in Maryland.

  17. Washing the sins in the rain,
    begging forgiveness,
    you are plotting
    a new adventure

    A classic opening visually seen as wanting to cleanse oneself to start anew. This is what most people want but not many succeed. Nicely crafted humbird!

  18. I just have to highlight this truly magnificent verse:

    "Oh, omnipresent rain!
    hold me tight in your flowing endeavors,
    shapeless to satisfy the thirst –
    if you please - clarify an eternity."

    Omnipresent rain!!

    I am so pleased I popped over to see if you had written MAG228 and I found this gem ~ Eddie
