And then I stopped the car
And Coaxed you out of doors
Turned the music up
And danced with you so slow
The rain poured down upon us
And laughing as we went
I twirled you round and round
The sweetest angel then
I never had another girl
Quite the same as you
I hope you dance again some day
So happy in the rain.
Oh, this is bittersweet–and beautiful–makes me very wistful.
The rain can do that to you.
Yes, but when the Seattle monsoon season hits, I sometimes go from wistful to cranky–particularly if I have to go out on errands!
Perspective and context are always so important.
so tenderly written, if I don’t have this memory..I want it, with you poem I can imagine it.
That may be the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me about my poetry. Thank you. Cheers.
Hope too, she dances again so happy in the rain ! Lovely
Thank you Haiku.
Somehow, there is no substitute for dancing in a gentle rain with that special someone! So loving of you to wish that girl many more dances!
It is a magical thing.
I wish I were no where else at this moment for, I too, wish to be that girl in your poem and can imagine it all too well 🙂 This is beautiful and romantic ~ thank you!
Some of my favorite times have been in the rain and I’ve taken my daughter out dozens of times in her life to splash and play like a couple of kids ~ it’s so innocent, pure and refreshing for the soul 🙂 Thank you and Happy New Year!
It sounds beautiful. Happy New Year to you as well. Cheers.
Perfect. Hopeful. Lovely.
Cheers.
i don’t know how many times I’ve wished for a moment like this, at least I can relish its sweetness in words and imagined images…thank you and take care, Que.
There are many moments to be had in life. I am sure you will have quite a few you never expected to have. Cheers.
