waking up to a day like today, with the sun out and the warmth... i love it! i associate good weather with good memories and good feelings so on beautiful days like today i get overwhelmed with rich emotions and a desire to be free. but since i had to work i found an outlet for that through poetry. Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin's "i loved you...", Pablo Neruda's "drunk as drunk" and "twenty poems of love", and as always my favorite poet the lonley, brilliant and always inspiring Emily Dickinson. I love everything she ever wrote. They spoke to me today and their words entered into me and found a home.
It was Langston Hughes who's words hit home the most though.
"Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk.
The rain makes running pools in the gutter.
The rain plays a little sleep-song on our roof at night-
And I love the rain."
i guess it spoke to me the most because there is no rain in my world right now.
