    Default The Drought

    The rain came plunging drenching after drought
    and silence burst as sensual groaning frogs
    released at once from dry encysted sleeps
    began the rhythms sounded so beneath
    the world's first trees. Bromeliads and palms
    embraced their roots in waters filled with songs -
    but long ago. Tonight in twilight I
    am standing at the edge of time and pond,
    peering like a primate at the sounds
    that pulse and surge from shadowed reeds and roots.
    Somehow the blood and feet take up the beat.
    But on the edge of plunging I retreat
    withdrawing from the memories of bones
    to faintly hear, within our walls, their songs. - by Dawn L. C. Miller

    A double whammy. A nicely composed image with beautiful lighting accompanied by an exceptional poem. They're wonderful together.
