After a lot of compliments to my 1st poem recently, I offer this 2nd one . I hope some of the previous readers will find it & say if they like this one. Rhymester.

UNTIL THE RAIN STOPS

We have until the rain stops
To make sense of the scheme;
We have until the rain stops
To realise a dream.
That we should find each other here ---
In nowhere, -- in the rain,
And see in each-others eyes,
A shelter from our pain;
Brought here for this moment
Of spiritual gain.
I will pull out all your sorrows;
Hold them gently in my hand;
Then you’ll be free tomorrow
As I sink into the sand.

We have until the rain stops
For balance to prevail;
We have until the rain stops,
Seeking shelter from life’s gale.
You come to sate my hunger,
From a different time and place:
I can’t wait any longer
For you to fill my empty space.
We shake the very cosmos
But we will not leave a trace.
You give me everything you are,
Though none should say we have sinned.
You light me like a passing star,
Then you are borne off by the wind.

We have until the rain stops
To set each other free;
We have until the rain stops ---
I am sent to you, you are sent to me.
We have until the rain stops
To hold impossibility.

We have until the rain stops
To comfort and console;
We have until the rain stops
To save our very souls.
Two drifting elementals
Whose paths now intersect
On the never-ending quest
To reach out and to connect;
Trying to keep perfection
When we ourselves are not perfect.
Eternal is the way it felt
Though its memory will decay; © Barrie Cannon
We make each others demons melt
And then we fade away.
