Night the Last Rain Drop Fell

by Maple Tree   Sep 6, 2012


I tasted sorrow the night that last

rain drop fell..

within a dust bowl of anguish,
people perished for thirst.

I grew angry within a historical
damnation, and my spirit cried.

Thunder cracked as smiles dropped
before my weary dreamers feet,

and I knew then..

I was thirsty for peace.

    Fighting takes the very life out of is that is why people want peace so much.
    Too bad that there are others don't feel this thirst and just keep on fighting.

    Amazing poem, I love your word choice.

    I grew angry within a historical
    damnation, and my spirit cried.

    Such power in just two lines of poetry. I love it.

    then you go on to write,

    Thunder cracked as smiles dropped
    before my weary dreamers feet,

    Such description, you really set the mood for me as I read this entire piece.
    You are not alone in your thirst for peace, it's so rare anymore.

    Forgive me for not reading you and commenting you more...I have missed reading your poetry :)

    The images you paint here for us are really vivid.

    I enjoy poems dealing with spirits and souls..I toyed with the wording of my spirit wept vs cried- and

    sorrow the night the last
    ^^

    sorrow the night THAT last rain drop fell. I think seeing the 2 times so close together made me go back and re read that line...

    Doesn't make much diff...Its still perfect and you are such an assett to this place :) I hope that you know
