habituation

the world stops and stares
the sound of your voice
a lake of pin drops
freeze and thaw mid-air
I can't hear you now
but down come the rain
I can hear you then
I will know your name

  2. It's funny some see this as a love poem and some see it as something darker and I dig that

  3. Lovely transition from ice droplets to rain droplets.

  4. "a lake of pin drops" spoke to me....it's a metaphor for those sounds, voices, ideas, and moments we're too busy or too arrogant to pay attention to

    or whatever...great 40

Magpie Tales #37 woke up this mornin' beside myself just me, myself starin' at myself forty days bleedin' into forty nights i can't make it right can't stand my sight risin' river drownin' hopes of love no sign of light from them clouds above down below just a lonely gaze silent and haunting through the smoky haze green valley memories swirl and tease my head and what you said before you fled promised me that i'd find love again a true soul friend at different rainbow ends risin' river drownin' hopes of love no sign of light from them clouds above down below just a lonely gaze silent and haunting through the smoky haze Rene ~ 2010 Whoa! Sorry for the mega depressing magpie!  I even bummed myself out after reading this. It is in no way autobiographical, so worry not gentle readers. I usually go with my first thoughts when doing Magpies...my first thought upon seeing the photo prompt was loneliness......
