The Oracle Speaks — in life’s luscious garden

resized ginkgo gone wild 1 20240608_111415

in life’s luscious garden

let it rain like mad,
frantic water,
urger of dreams.

drunk moon woman
watching you through
storm’s mist in sleep.

yet when diamond
shadows stop, I see
gorgeous beauty

in life’s luscious garden

It’s going to start raining at any moment. When I saw rain the words, it was the seed for the oracle to germinate.

  2. Beautiful poem.

    It’s also supposed to rain and storm later on today, where I live.

        Did you make this up as you recorded it, Lisa? Wish they’d repeat a similar prompt.. I’d like to try it. Need to figure out how to record my voice on the computer. Once knew how to do it but it has been a long time. So send your rain man down here. We’ll fix his wagon!!! (Positive connotation of those words.)

          No, I wrote it first and it was during a prolonged drought here. I really willed it to work (don’t remember if it did right away, but…)

          Will share your wish with the dVerse group.

          You may need to get a free voice recording app from google store or elsewhere. Once you record it you can upload it to soundcloud and then embed it in your post (that’s how I did it, but you may very well find an easier way.)

    We had a bit of rain a couple of days ago after several days without, and you could almost hear the flowers, plants, and trees all saying thanks…not to mention the wildlife. Lots of praise for water, water, everywhere!

      Yes, water is definitely not optional for optimum life. Glad you got the rain and hope you get more soon.
