Poetry: Stormy Night

June 19, 2021 by George Cassidy Payne Leave a Comment

Stormy Night

There is a loneliness to hail drops
on a tin-roofed cabin.

The woods and flowers and secrets of
mountains are lonely.

So are the trails, ponds, and bridges;
the vanished sources looking for a beginning.

Dripping drops a million years in the making.
Falling asleep in the wounded soil of dreams.
