out of the rain

photography by stefan beutler

 

 

silently sing to me
during the nonsensical intermissions of life
show me that curved lines
make far more sense than straight ones
in this multi-dimensional world
go ahead 
contradict me
‘cause life has tricked me
don’t answer my questions
make me forget them
logic is highly overrated
and ofttimes exaggerated
it’s been a long journey
but i am here
steer me to your safe haven
get me out of the rain

... "curved lines
make far more sense than straight ones
in this multi-dimensional world"...
and in/on those curved lines we go and we come and some how return to some places we have been before ~ hope with a bit more of knowledge! ~ the rain! We can be out in the rain and I'm sure you will never become "wet" and go on shining!

How eloquently you tell of the journey from one place to another, I have learned from reading you, and look forward to enjoying your company at this cafe. Wonderful poetry here, as always from your beautiful pen. Trace

[Lydia Shutter]

How wonderful to see you here Lydi*! We all need a soft place to fall, which you so eloquently expressed in this gorgeous poem dear friend. ~ Helena ~ :)

[Lydia Shutter]

And even though this is not a new poem of mine, right now this poem is appropriate. I am at Writer's Cafe, MY soft place to fall! :) Thank you for your comments, Helena. Lydi**

this is so good....forget the logic, live with your heart...

yes, there will be rain, but we will find safe havens...

life is mult-dimensional...and there are many curves...but that makes life fun...

really like this.

One of the most important things in life is learning how to move onward and upward, Kelly. Long intermissions make no sense really. Thank you so much for your comments. Lydi*

"it’s been a long journey but i am here steer me to your safe haven get me out of the rain" It is so nice to have that special someone who feels like "home" to us. Everyone needs a safe haven after that long journey. Your words are so beautiful and heartfelt.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you for such a lovely comment. Indeed, we all need a special someone in our lives. Lydi**

This is a beautiful poem! I especially like the lines "show me that curved lines / make far more sense than straight ones." I have to totally agree! Thank you!

"silently sing to me
during the nonsensical intermissions of life"... nice opening lines Lydi. yes, you are here and might I add, still full of those artistic nouns, vowels, and metaphors that make "art" and me happy to read you... ~~redzone... er.. almost forgot, "nice" poem Lydi (new place, can I get at least one forgetful moment??? ;o)

[Lydia Shutter]

Smiling here....new place, but same friends....and that is a good thing, Curt. Thank you for this "nice" comment. I hope my artistic nouns and metaphors continue to bring you to my words. Lydi**
