The gently falling rain
       slowly wets the ground
The softly drifting snow
       accumulates in mounds

With the slow-forming evening dew
       the country glistens like new
And the quietly shirring sand
       reshapes the strand

While I slowly gaze around
       to see where I stand
       to take in
              the lie of the land
              the truths I can unearth
              the hopes and fears
              for whatever it's worth
              the lie of the land

 

The gentle rain
       seeps and soaks
The gentle snow
       floats and coats

The evening dew
       invigorates
The shifting sand
       infiltrates



Sometimes a gale
       is exciting
Sometimes a blizzard
       is delighting

Strong gusts
       clear the air
Lightning lights up
       the atmosphere

 

But for now I prefer
the gentle rain
       which slowly wets
              the ground

and your gently holding arms
       which reach all around
              me

I'm glad I found you

TENDER SOFT ROMANTIC LOVE WORDS

Words can warm the heart,
Love words can touch the soul,
A poem of tender loving ...
and we blossom
like a flower with spring rain
parched for gentle loving flow
tender loving touch
