Poetry Solace: Of dreams, rain and silence

Continuing from my last Poetry Solace entry, a couple more poems from Langston Hughes..

April Rain Song

Let the rain kiss you
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops
Let the rain sing you a lullaby
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk
The rain makes running pools in the gutter
The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night
And I love the rain. 

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

Silence

I catch the pattern

Of your silence

Before you speak

I do not need

To hear a word.

In your silence

Every tone I seek

Is heard.

Have a great weekend!
