yes its raining in Auckland

[cryptomancer]

As is the way with the world,

All things fade to grey,

Dark may fall as night at times,

But the heavens still light my way.

 

I watched the rain mostly

Last night the dew didn’t fall

No frost today awoke me

Just a soft sip from heaven’s well.

This is beautiful, it paints such a lovely image. I love your use of langague

Nice little poem, cryptomancer. :-) I like the metaphorical feel of the poem and how, while the natural images are fine by themselves, they also seem to carry a broader meaning. I once again felt the religious undertones present in a great deal of your poetry here, and it resonates well in this piece. The one line of the poem that I had a bit of trouble visualizing was the last line, as the "soft sip" of that line didn't provide an image like the other lines... its an interesting shift there, though I'm left curious as to what the "soft sip from heaven's well" looks like in terms of weather since the language of that poetic description is very nice!

 

Thanks for sharing this here crypt, cool stuff. :-)

its ironic really,

in today's economic strife and turmoil,

uncertainty and disruptive lives,

and here, in my land, ressession.

 

it is the way of things it seems,

the weather mocks us gently,

with storms and rain and as it seems,

the deepest depression of the last decade.

 

nature has a sense of humor it seems

oh Wyvern.... thanks for the comment...

 

the line a "sip from heavens well" was directed at a few things,

 

the world being refreshed by the rain,

the quenching of thirst,

 

and of cause the beauty of running around outside with your mouth open catching rain drops.
