For all of you with steel pulses that have
been shocking your bones and
chilling your every move,

come here and stand in the rain.

There is really no storm here,
the tornado is bubbling up inside of
(you), and all the gusts of wind
are just the spoken words your memory
is fighting to cannon across the skies.

Because words have damage when
they travel more miles per hour than
a tracker can record, and though it all
was in whirlwinds of rage,
nothing can make up for it just yet.

Give it time.
Take what you need and stand
in the rain,

blowing lightly at the white blossoms
I never knew existed in their battle
to be heard amongst the green green green
bushes.

Be the rain, running down, cascading
across paper airplanes, soaking up all
the forgotten love, and absorbing
earth that gives you foundation
and a spot to be found.

Put your arms out in whatever way you wish,
and let your teardrops fall into invisible buckets
until someone picks one up,
and catches your cries instead of only your laughter.

    I missed reading and commenting on your poems. As usual, this was an exceptional piece and it satisfied my need for beautiful words strung into coherent sentences which are able to put across to the reader an idea so compelling that it just stuns them into speechlessness. I could say it did so to me, particularly the phrases I quote below:

    "and all the gusts of wind
    are just the spoken words your memory
    is fighting to cannon across the skies."

    "Because words have damage when
    they travel more miles per hour than
    a tracker can record"

    and I loved how you made repetitive use of the word green which strengthens the impact of what you intended to put across. Personally, I thought using the word "green" twice makes the poem flow well enough but there must be a reason why you used it thrice and I respect that.

    Great write as usual, my lovely friend :D
