Spring Poetry Slam #1: Rain Song

Flowers unfolding,
My heart awakens, she is
sound between the drops

    I remember hearing a voice once said, somewhere between rural sheaves of wind, "In the beat resounding in silence / She resides." I wonder if that voice is archetypal. Anyway, what you said. - Brendan

    Brendan's comment is lovely. Crisp, clear, vivid poem.

    I like how the word "sound" comes so unexpectedly, that you can really feel (or hear) that moment -- whatever it is --
