Ah, the wanting and the yearning, and solitude. You write well of such things. I love the line it is the stars that are not in constellations..... . You bring to notice a depth of humanity that does indeed require vast spaces like the sky with which to commune. I really liked your poem.

    lovely and encouraging words. so appreciated. I love being in the rain when it is dark. even if I am not longing for some lost love. there is just something about the magnitude of everything and connecting to it as the little but wondrous creatures we can be sometimes. glad you liked it. thank you kindly, mike

Wow, what a wonderfully written poem. This is really good. We're having a dry spring and pray every day for a little rain. Hope it comes soon.

THE WANTING OF ONE DOES NOT GO AWAY YOU WANT IT TO STAY BUT ONE CANNOT. THE TRAIN WHISTLE REMINDS YOU OF THOSE LONELY WHISTLE BLUES THAT KEEP WHISPERING TO YOU. WHAT IS NOT MEANT TO BE CAN NOT TRULY BE FREE TO LOVE ANOTHER.SHE IS A RAY OF SUN SHINE
