Calm me with the
Voice of water
Delicate as evening rain
Subdued sky
Bathed in pink and grey
Subsiding winds
Down to a whisper
Douse the fires
That rage around me
Are aroused within me
As the wilds are washed away
In a commotion of smoke
My blood burns hot and troubled
Untamed
Unconvinced
Longing for the touch of water

Oh, I hope you get rain soon. How close are the fires? It’s hard for me to tell on the map they show on TV…but looks like there were a few in SW CO…
Praying that the Colorado fires will end! Beautiful poem, thank you.
Love the photo and the poetry. Praying for rain!
Wonderful write Gin, and the photograph. I pray there is rain soon out west to douse those fires.
