I heard your voice today, in the wind that blew
the sand dunes away, in the rustle of trees; I felt
so comforted by the sound of raindrops on the
iron roof, a promise of showers to come, a sure
sign that you were thinking of me; as the rains
increased I was convinced you had sent them
for me especially, knowing how barren and bleak
life seemed without you to inspire my heart
I faced the ordeal of no letter from you so bravely,
knowing your love to be present in the elements;
listening to the wind outside, all are complaining
the wind is blowing the rain clouds away, but I’m
sure it was a sign from YOU to assure me that
you are aware that I am still there, far from
you, tucked away on a farm, alone; scared
of wide-open spaces, longing for the sea
Pining away, but now that you said you are
thinking of me by sending the rain and the
wind; I’m satisfied - time is passing and
soon we shall be together again
Louise......this is amazing stuff....simply awesome....speechless.
