The Memory of Rain
( a Quatern )
Each time there comes the memory of rain,
That lives forever only in her mind.
It takes her far beyond the present pain,
A love to come just once some never find.
As was a kind she knew those years ago,
Each time there comes the memory of rain.
She hears him read his poetry, and so,
To keep her company from summer’s bane.
It was, of all the seasons in the chain,
In showers of the autumn, love’s embrace.
Each time there comes the memory of rain,
The lovers, once again, stand face to face.
To walk the haunts of places where they were
Of stains & leaves to long wash down a drain.
That hid away the passion when it stirs,
Each time there comes the memory of rain.
Each time there comes the memory of rain,
That lives forever only in her mind.
It takes her far beyond the present pain,
A love to come just once some never find.
As was a kind she knew those years ago,
Each time there comes the memory of rain.
She hears him read his poetry, and so,
To keep her company from summer’s bane.
It was, of all the seasons in the chain,
In showers of the autumn, love’s embrace.
Each time there comes the memory of rain,
The lovers, once again, stand face to face.
To walk the haunts of places where they were
Of stains & leaves to long wash down a drain.
That hid away the passion when it stirs,
Each time there comes the memory of rain.

Such a beautiful poem, Jade! I love the imagery and vibe I got from reading it. It made me feel a sense of peace.
Thanks for participating in my competition!
Thanks for participating in my competition!
Thank you so very much, dear sister of light. I knew it would come to me, the piece for your lovely competition, as I’d study the image and let things develop as days passed. Then this morning, it all started to come and I’m grateful I’m able to gift it.
I know I haven’t written you lately as I’ve been under the weather, but I hope to pm you soon.

and it was, most appropriately, raining here as I read these lines...a gentle nostalgic interlude...

I agree with LunasChild. This is soothing and immaculately written. It instills a sense of peace. "Each time there comes the memory of rain" is a gorgeous line for the quatern. Loved this!

My gosh, my gracious thanks to you, dear Ted. It’s still early morning here, and I keep checking to see if I’m still awake.
