A Summer Song Poem by Sandra Fowler

A Summer Song

Rating: 3.1


Outside rain plays its prolonged summer song.
Gray windowpanes record earth's silent cry.
Faint light is just a whisper caught by time,
Words spare and elegant, long lost in space.

Fingers are warmed by what a mood can make.
Touch is as delicate as filigree.
Wind blows the candle of our landscape out.
It takes us, Friend, where all old raindrops go.

Sandra, You are always worth reading. In this poem you fulfill the words of the German theologian Helmut Thielicke (sp?) : 'The poets have become the pastors of our time.' Additional blessings to your day whenever you get to reading this. Bill Grace

Once again- beautiful feelings described in even more beautiful words. Your imagery so delicate - is aptly captured by a Pakistani Poet in the line: 'settles upon the mind with the nicety of a dragonfly' Take care

Dear Sandra, I loved reading this poem! We are now facing the Delhi summer! The most trying months will be june & july due to humidity! Delhi normally does not get enough rains, because people cut the trees! I saw your face for the first time on 'Bologi.com' poetry section! An authentic beauty of a face painted by time, and those eyes showering loving grace! WITH BEST WISHES, - Raj
