Repost: Drought

A repost from last August - with the preparation of my novel for publication (almost there!) I haven’t had time to write for my blog. An even worse drought is affecting my area and much of the US this year, so I thought this poem was appropriate. Hope to be posting something new very soon! Thanks for your patience.

Waiting

for the rain

there is

a pain

of thirst

in the eyes

and sighs

of the beholders.
Looking

on the dryness

there is

a deafness

to cries

for a break

and stake

in the weather.
Sleeping

through the storm

there is

a swarm

of being

for the birds

and words

of an awakening.
