Eventide
Raindrops spatter
Shatter
The sky
Hits ground
Gleaming shards
Of light
Water prisms
Melt
To mirror sheen
The road
The pitter patter
Of a million
Little raindrop feet
Fulfillment
For my soul
Eventide
Raindrops spatter
Shatter
The sky
Hits ground
Gleaming shards
Of light
Water prisms
Melt
To mirror sheen
The road
The pitter patter
Of a million
Little raindrop feet
Fulfillment
For my soul
Fragment
The moon
Full moon
Eye of heaven
Cataract ridden
Gazing down
Blindly down
Upon the dying world
An added thought:
A poem begins with a lump in the throat; a homesickness or a love sickness. It is a reaching-out toward expression; an effort to find fulfillment. A complete poem is one where an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
