"Destined Minds"

Fall Away...

two inches of rain - falling
and I am left standing in the rain
wet and thirsty

insincere their lies fell
and poured out from their lips
guile upon their minds

a voice falls in the night
upon ears that hear not and is
silent and deaf

so now grief falls from the hearts
of innocent souls that once
long-ed for truth

two inches of rain - falling
and I am left standing in the rain
wet and thirsty

thanks artman for taking the time to read and feel - I think we should all take time to listen, read and feel...like on a warm Autumns day with the sun filtering through, warming your whole being and not just your physical being but the drinking in of that warmth and drinking in with your eyes as you let light dance on the leaves between the branches, taking in the hues of Autums tone - I have to say spring and Autum my fav times of the year

ahhh a man for all seasons - our swimming hole is the basin that has longed been carved out and feeds eventually into the river....as for snow I have yet to experience it..do you get snow where you live? we don't we have to travel to get snow but then again it has crept closer.however Autumn like spring the seasons in between that are often missed by many I agree is very beautiful in fact it will be Autumn I think in Japan about now - and just the ripe time for travelling says I with passport in hand....I have been there at cherry blossom time so Autumn will be a nice change to visit there
