live water .osi

' rain '

beads of honest labour
the poor man's shining pearls
trickle down to the earth
to join a cloud some day

hanging in the darkness
the heat of frozen tears
like drops of molten wax
clinging to a candle

but written in sparkles
the dew is a language
the words that flowers speak
to say they are in love

so hear the live water
its raining cats and dogs
meows and happy barks
of life's pitter patter

this sweat that dew that tear ..

    what a fabulous and original take on the prompt. We give back our water in so many ways. I particularly like the verse:
    "hanging in the darkness/the heat of frozen tears/like drops of molten wax/clinging to a candle"

    Ah, yes, zoya!

    All of it flowing from some strange aquaduct that is the heart of the universe.

    Many thanks--

    Such beautiful ideas - 'beads of honest labour/the poor man's shining pearls'' and 'dew is a language/the words that flowers speak/to say they are in love' - water is wonderful stuff. Yes, stunning.

    very touching... the beauty of giving and toil captured in a kitty's meow or a barking dog...

    it's raining cats and dogs - live water. This made me glee-laugh, a great way to start the working day.

    Thank you!
