O Love
 Jan 2015 redinblue
Rumi
O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now,
Be all – worlds dissolve into your
       stainless endless radiance,
Frail living leaves burn with your brighter
        than cold stares –
Make me your servant, your breath, your core.

Rain, falls, hard, fast, heavy,
but short lived and brief;
tears poured out in sorrow,
an outpouring of grief.

Soon, the sun, will shine again,
clouds will lift from earth;
and we'll hear again the laughter,
of someone's joy and mirth.

Shadows, pass, along with gloom,
the sadness melts away;
tomorrow beats with new-found hope,
and life renews each day.

Gone, the veil, that covers us,
swept aside, the pain;
comes once more, the strength,
from adversity, we gain.

The rain, is but, a memory,
the tears are dried and past;
we forge on to the new year,
with the goal our love will last.

i call you the rain

i always get caught in the rain

i always get caught by you

i always forget to bring along an umbrella

to shelter me

to protect me from you

i am very stubborn

i do not dry myself up after being drenched from the rain

i let it stick on me

i like how cold and shivering it gets

i like the feeling

but being wet for too long from the rain always makes me sick

i will have flu and a fever

you make me sick

mom will warn me repeatedly

"take a shower!"

but i never do

i like the feeling

i like getting soaked

fresh and free of problems

you drain it away

i want it to rain everyday

i could get caught by you

you could wash my problems away

but it is impossible

the sun makes sure your traces are gone

i forget what we had together

even when i don’t want to

now and then

even when i had forgotten about you

you always appear unexpectedly

the feelings

you are the rain

With
passion pray. With
passion work. With passion make love.

With passion eat and drink and dance and play.

Why look like a dead fish
in this ocean
of
God?
~~~



a star
never before seen
hangs yet moves with
slow deliberation
across the velvet black

winking light(s?)
e x p a n d
away from the
central luminary

mothership
then draws her
much smaller
chicks back under
her wings

strangest of all
Is how these
clusters of lights
move sideways                        
              back and forth!
I don't know what
i saw but it was

NOT AN AIRPLANE

~~~
I just saw this phenomenon
I have no idea what it was!
