The Moon breaks free—
A white balloon
Above the trees,
Smiling down
At sleepless me.
Thunder grumbles
And softly mutters
But rain has ceased
Its tin pan pudder
And put away its
Drums and puddles.
And now when the slate
Is wiped clean
And wet gray shingles shine,
The sky above me starry
And peace soft as dust
In a mine…
I sit writing a poem
Of need for you
Long after midnight’s chimed,
And fit my feelings
To patterns
And my unruly thoughts
To rhyme.
But why is it I’m able
To see clearly
When you are safe asleep,
Yet when you’re
Awake and before me
Nothing seems clear
Or complete?
And why must I always
Be searching
For the perfect time,
When you are absent
Or sleeping
After midnight chimes?
Aquí son las 10:30 de la noche,@johnjgeddes, y mi ciudad aún no duerme. Hay una brisa que lo envuelve todo. Tu poema llega para refrescar y crear sosiego con esa lluvia en una noche estridente y colorida como esta. Es la lluvia una experiencia única en las noches: se escucha más la lluvia, se huele más. Lluvia y nocturnidad confluyen como amigas ante al acto poético. En esa ´4 estrofa, siempre la necesidad de alguien como interlocutor, como musa. Y después esas 5 y 6 estrofas, tan definitivas y claras. Somos tan inseguros ante el ser amado. Tenemos miedo que el amor nos desborde y haga daño. Es el amor tan frágil, señor. Te abrazo

It is like that with children too. When not consumed with needs of survival and adaptation, we see the wonder that lies between us. Lovely write, John:)
