November Reign - Inside and Outside the Poet's World

> outside
> through the blur of cold, wet and damp
> the rain rules supreme
> glistening silver diamonds
> captured moments
> flat planes of platinum glass
> encapsulating
> slick dot matrix
> these little rain drops
> regifted from the sky overhead
> silent
> as the encroaching
> changeable weather sounds
> whether or not
> we like it
> or not
> the rain is here
> to stay
>
> outside
> raindrops like teardrops
> victims of gravity's cruel pull
> crying for renewal
> searching endlessly to find
> that one stream of eternal design
> the seemingly insignificant individual
> dropping organically the mother cell
> becomes many droplets
> to form
> amoeba-like
> one
> mighty and powerful sea
>
> outside
> downsward streams
> where small rivers meet
> windows on another world
> gray flowing errie light
> making this world
> closer to magic winters
> equinoxs' at midnight
>
> inside
> waiting
> warm fire glows
> the heart is a golden locket
> of the cruel weather cannot open
> bone-chilling cold
> unrelenting
> unforgiving
> unbelievable this much rain
> here
> smiling smugly
> while cuddling my pooch
> on the couch
>
> inside
> looking out the window
> a bare picture window
> framing my dull life
> today
> on the bay
> a world away
> from dreams of yesterday

> inside
> on my computer screen
> my friends here
> poets all
> remind me
> rare diamonds all
> much rarer than the rarest
> out there
> keeping my heart
> as I keep theirs
> in my locket

> inside
> finding gold in field of dreams
> and conquered computer screens
> sometimes screams of various sorts
> sad and lengthy
> funny and short bursts
