&#13;
The storm arrives, a sudden silver shield, To soften the harsh and certain sun, And in the blur, the world is all revealed, As every frantic, hurried line is run.&#13;
&#13;
A window, once a frame for careful sight, Is now a canvas where the raindrops stream, And I watch your face in this suspended light, Reflected in a shifting, watery dream.&#13;
&#13;
My sight is washed of what I thought I knew, The curated smile, the posture held for show.&#13;
&#13;
The rain remakes your image, fresh and new, In the soft-edged, patient, rhythmic flow.&#13;
&#13;
Your eyes, in this dissolving, muted place, Hold not the world, but only me, and deep As a quiet pond, they mirror a gentle grace, And in that gaze, my waiting love I reap.&#13;
&#13;
For love's achievement wasn't in the chase, Or in the perfect light where all is clear, But in the shadowed, honest, liquid space, Where only what is real is held so dear.&#13;
&#13;
So let the storm, your true self, bring to view; In the falling rain, my love for you is true.&#13;

                <text>The steam unfurls, a lazy, white-gray ghost,&#13;
carrying the scent of what is held most—&#13;
the quiet hour, the table set for two,&#13;
the empty space that now is filled by you.&#13;
A mug, a porcelain planet, warm in hand,&#13;
holds secrets brewed in some forgotten land.&#13;
But your story is the richness in the pot,&#13;
a memory of a time and a forgotten spot.&#13;
The clink of spoon, a bell to start the tale,&#13;
of journeys taken, and a sunlit trail.&#13;
Your words pour out, the color of the brew,&#13;
a bitter truth, a flavor, sharp and new.&#13;
The face is watched, the shifting of the light,&#13;
as you recount a distant, vivid night.&#13;
The sugar stirred, a sweeter, softer turn,&#13;
on lessons learned and bridges that have burned.&#13;
The cup grows cool, the final chapters told,&#13;
a narrative more precious than fine gold.&#13;
And all that's left is stillness, in the air,&#13;
and the quiet comfort of a story shared.</text>

Pouring your words like steaming grounds,&#13;
a dark and fragrant mystery.&#13;
Each sentence, like the bitter, sweet first sip,&#13;
tells a story no one but you and I will know.&#13;
I hold the porcelain bowl, its warmth a comfort,&#13;
as you unfold the tapestry of years.&#13;
The clink of spoons, a gentle punctuation&#13;
to all the things you held inside with fear.&#13;
The cup becomes a vessel for your journey,&#13;
a small and solid island in the day.&#13;
With every drop, the heavy past is lifted,&#13;
your worries melting into swirls of gray.&#13;
And I, the quiet witness to your truth,&#13;
take in the fragrance of what you have lived.&#13;
The fragile courage in your whispered youth,&#13;
a precious gift you have so freely gived.&#13;
Let silence settle on the empty cup,&#13;
a sacred quiet where your soul is seen.&#13;
And we'll be richer, having filled it up,&#13;
with simple kindness and what lies between.</text>

                <text>The text itself is a powerful metaphor for the strength of commitment and inner resilience in the face of adversity.&#13;
&#13;
    "When tempests rise and shadows stretch and bend, / And lesser lights like lanterns flicker and end": These lines evoke a sense of external chaos and the failure of weaker, more temporary sources of comfort or guidance.&#13;
    "The star of commitment holds its single place, / A point of grace within the void of space": The star represents a stable, unwavering anchor—the constancy of one's commitment. It is an internal point of focus that provides a sense of grace and purpose when all else feels empty or lost.&#13;
    "It is the unseen pull, the silent thread, / That links the future to the promises said": This speaks to the invisible, but powerful, connection between the promises one makes and the future one is building. It is the quiet force that maintains integrity over time.&#13;
    "Not a fierce fire, but an endless, quiet glow, / That helps the lonely, weary soul to know": The final lines contrast commitment with a dramatic, short-lived passion. Instead, it is a consistent, gentle presence that provides comfort and guidance to those who are tired and alone, a light that is always there.</text>

Hoping it will find you safe&#13;
And land with a tender touch&#13;
Upon your much loved cheek&#13;
&#13;
I kiss my palm and blow it to you&#13;
I send it straight to your heart&#13;
Tender touches and caresses&#13;
To bind our love together&#13;
&#13;
kisses on the wind!&#13;

                <text>My heart aches within from missing you,&#13;
My lips long for the feel of kissing you,&#13;
Right now all I need is to gently touch your skin,&#13;
To look into your eyes and see deep within,&#13;
Just one warm embrace,&#13;
Just to look upon your face,&#13;
Just one little touch,&#13;
From the one I love so much,&#13;
If I could gaze upon your smile,&#13;
For just a little while,&#13;
To know that you miss me too,&#13;
As I'm thinking of you,&#13;
To hear the sound of you breathe,&#13;
Knowing you'll never leave,&#13;
To see you walk up to me,&#13;
Then embrace you tenderly,&#13;
To just be with the one who's sent my heart reeling,&#13;
And brought about this downpour of emotion and feeling,&#13;
I sit here alone in my office tonight,&#13;
And pray that somehow this all turns out right,&#13;
I've never been one to do more taking than giving,&#13;
I'm not well off but I work hard for a living,&#13;
I've told you many thoughts that weren't borrowed or bought,&#13;
And in lifetime, who would have thought,&#13;
That I have found someone who was just meant for me,&#13;
I can't explain the magic or why this should be,&#13;
But there is one thing that I know for certain,&#13;
That this just ain't over till one of us draws the final curtain,&#13;
For I've seen an angel and I want you to know,&#13;
If it's my choice to make, I'll never let you go,&#13;
Don't know what life holds, maybe there's no reason or rhyme,&#13;
To think you may be mine in a matter of time,&#13;
And though I cannot touch you and we are now apart,&#13;
My Love, you do dwell, so deep within my heart.</text>

Kicking off 4 searches&#13;
Looking at 89 sites&#13;
Putting it all together&#13;
&#13;
-Petting Water-&#13;
&#13;
To touch the water, a fleeting caress,&#13;
A whisper of liquid, a soft impress.&#13;
It yields to the fingers, a cool, gentle glide,&#13;
As secrets untold within its depths hide.&#13;
No solid wall, no barrier stands,&#13;
Just a yielding embrace, in our outstretched hands.&#13;
It ripples and flows, a ceaseless design,&#13;
Responding to touch, with a dance so divine.&#13;
Like a lover's soft whisper, or a child's gentle hand,&#13;
The water receives, understanding its role in the land.&#13;
It carries the stories of mountains it knew,&#13;
And reflects the vast sky, in its shimmering hue.&#13;
We cup it and hold it, a moment so brief,&#13;
Then release it again, finding sweet relief.&#13;
For in letting it go, we learn to embrace,&#13;
The fleeting, yet profound, beauty of its space.&#13;

&#13;
You will be walking some night&#13;
in the comfortable dark of your yard&#13;
and suddenly a great light will shine&#13;
round about you, and behind you&#13;
will be a wall you never saw before.&#13;
It will be clear to you suddenly&#13;
that you were about to escape,&#13;
and that you are guilty: you misread&#13;
the complex instructions, you are not&#13;
a member, you lost your card&#13;
or never had one. And you will know&#13;
that they have been there all along,&#13;
their eyes on your letters and books,&#13;
their hands in your pockets,&#13;
their ears wired to your bed.&#13;
Though you have done nothing shameful,&#13;
they will want you to be ashamed.&#13;
They will want you to kneel and weep&#13;
and say you should have been like them.&#13;
And once you say you are ashamed,&#13;
reading the page they hold out to you,&#13;
then such light as you have made&#13;
in your history will leave you.&#13;
They will no longer need to pursue you.&#13;
You will pursue them, begging forgiveness.&#13;
They will not forgive you.&#13;
There is no power against them.&#13;
It is only candor that is aloof from them,&#13;
only an inward clarity, unashamed,&#13;
that they cannot reach. Be ready.&#13;
When their light has picked you out&#13;
and their questions are asked, say to them:&#13;
"I am not ashamed." A sure horizon&#13;
will come around you. The heron will begin&#13;
his evening flight from the hilltop.</text>

                <text>How Beautiful is the Rain ~by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)~&#13;
How beautiful is the rain!&#13;
After the dust and heat,&#13;
In the broad and fiery street,&#13;
In the narrow lane,&#13;
How beautiful is the rain!&#13;
&#13;
How it clatters along the roofs,&#13;
Like the tramp of hoofs&#13;
How it gushes and struggles out&#13;
From the throat of the overflowing spout!&#13;
&#13;
Across the window-pane&#13;
It pours and pours;&#13;
And swift and wide,&#13;
With a muddy tide,&#13;
Like a river down the gutter roars&#13;
The rain, the welcome rain!&#13;
&#13;
The sick man from his chamber looks&#13;
At the twisted brooks;&#13;
He can feel the cool&#13;
Breath of each little pool;&#13;
His fevered brain&#13;
Grows calm again,&#13;
And he breathes a blessing on the rain.&#13;
&#13;
From the neighboring school&#13;
Come the boys,&#13;
With more than their wonted noise&#13;
And commotion;&#13;
And down the wet streets&#13;
Sail their mimic fleets,&#13;
Till the treacherous pool&#13;
Ingulfs them in its whirling&#13;
And turbulent ocean.&#13;
&#13;
In the country, on every side,&#13;
Where far and wide,&#13;
Like a leopard's tawny and spotted hide,&#13;
Stretches the plain,&#13;
To the dry grass and the drier grain&#13;
How welcome is the rain!&#13;
&#13;
In the furrowed land&#13;
The toilsome and patient oxen stand;&#13;
Lifting the yoke encumbered head,&#13;
With their dilated nostrils spread,&#13;
They silently inhale&#13;
The clover-scented gale,&#13;
And the vapors that arise&#13;
From the well-watered and smoking soil.&#13;
&#13;
For this rest in the furrow after toil&#13;
Their large and lustrous eyes&#13;
Seem to thank the Lord,&#13;
More than man's spoken word.&#13;
&#13;
Near at hand,&#13;
From under the sheltering trees,&#13;
The farmer sees&#13;
His pastures, and his fields of grain,&#13;
As they bend their tops&#13;
To the numberless beating drops&#13;
Of the incessant rain.&#13;
&#13;
He counts it as no sin&#13;
That he sees therein&#13;
Only his own thrift and gain.&#13;
These, and far more than these,&#13;
The Poet sees!&#13;
&#13;
He can behold&#13;
Aquarius old&#13;
Walking the fenceless fields of air;&#13;
And from each ample fold&#13;
Of the clouds about him rolled&#13;
Scattering everywhere&#13;
The showery rain,&#13;
As the farmer scatters his grain.&#13;
&#13;
He can behold&#13;
Things manifold&#13;
That have not yet been wholly told,--&#13;
Have not been wholly sung nor said.&#13;
For his thought, that never stops,&#13;
Follows the water-drops&#13;
Down to the graves of the dead,&#13;
Down through chasms and gulfs profound,&#13;
To the dreary fountain-head&#13;
Of lakes and rivers under ground;&#13;
And sees them, when the rain is done,&#13;
On the bridge of colors seven&#13;
Climbing up once more to heaven,&#13;
Opposite the setting sun.&#13;
&#13;
Thus the Seer,&#13;
With vision clear,&#13;
Sees forms appear and disappear,&#13;
In the perpetual round of strange,&#13;
Mysterious change&#13;
From birth to death, from death to birth,&#13;
From earth to heaven, from heaven to earth;&#13;
Till glimpses more sublime&#13;
Of things, unseen before,&#13;
Unto his wondering eyes reveal&#13;
The Universe, as an immeasurable wheel&#13;
Turning forevermore&#13;
In the rapid and rushing river of Time</text>

Let the rain sing you a lullaby&#13;
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk&#13;
The rain makes running pools in the gutter&#13;
The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night&#13;
And I love the rain.  - &#13;

In whispers green, her branches weave,  &#13;
A tapestry of life, where dreams believe.  &#13;
Nurturing roots in earth’s embrace,  &#13;
Guarding tender hearts, our sacred space.  &#13;
&#13;
Through tempest bold, her leaves will sway,  &#13;
A sheltering haven as skies turn gray.  &#13;
With arms outstretched, her shade will fall,  &#13;
A cozy refuge for one and all.  &#13;
&#13;
In quiet grace, she beckons near,  &#13;
A testament of love, to calm all fear.  &#13;
In every season, her strength remains,  &#13;
Mother Tree, through joys and pains.&#13;

&#13;
-They are unaware of the danger.-&#13;
&#13;
Later in a day soon hence, we pitched the dining tent to cook, eat and be free of flying insects.&#13;
Dark, very dark the night as we cook and prepare.&#13;
Then a sound, no, an other worldly sound not meant for human ears. We froze and we listened.&#13;
We; next to a river and in a valley as a storm system moved in with the its rushing air and pressure.&#13;
Sounds hauntingly like a 100 freight trains, reverberating the air and our ears.&#13;
We stared in salience and my family looked to me, because even I was in stark wonderment of what was unfolding.&#13;
As we listened, I became aware of this, and said: " We will never hear anything like this again." It is a storm system moving in through the valley and reverberating in just such a way to hear what we are hearing.&#13;
I said: " We are going to get rain and a lot of it". &#13;
We prepared, we ate and we played our game as the deluge. Drips came through, but we just smirked. Cut short our game, and off to slumber we went. ~LArry.</text>

                <text>  Busy old fool, unruly sun,&#13;
               Why dost thou thus,&#13;
Through windows, and through curtains call on us?&#13;
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run?&#13;
               Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide&#13;
               Late school boys and sour prentices,&#13;
         Go tell court huntsmen that the king will ride,&#13;
         Call country ants to harvest offices,&#13;
Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,&#13;
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.&#13;
&#13;
               Thy beams, so reverend and strong&#13;
               Why shouldst thou think?&#13;
I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink,&#13;
But that I would not lose her sight so long;&#13;
               If her eyes have not blinded thine,&#13;
               Look, and tomorrow late, tell me,&#13;
         Whether both th' Indias of spice and mine&#13;
         Be where thou leftst them, or lie here with me.&#13;
Ask for those kings whom thou saw'st yesterday,&#13;
And thou shalt hear, All here in one bed lay.&#13;
&#13;
               She's all states, and all princes, I,&#13;
               Nothing else is.&#13;
Princes do but play us; compared to this,&#13;
All honor's mimic, all wealth alchemy.&#13;
               Thou, sun, art half as happy as we,&#13;
               In that the world's contracted thus.&#13;
         Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be&#13;
         To warm the world, that's done in warming us.&#13;
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere;&#13;
This bed thy center is, these walls, thy sphere.</text>

Gave all that I have, and nothing was returned. Just like before. So I moved on with just me and found all the deceit of those who said are so pure. So, now I stand alone, wondering, is there anyone? I thought I found one so bound, so Soul, but again nothing was returned., Waited for years, and nothing. Moved on, and the same many times. So, now I wonder, is there anyone. And I am sad. It is all the same and there is nothing there. I keep my heart pure and secure for the only thing that matters and it is so sad, but so beautiful the same. But Why?  ~LArry</text>
