Poem submission by Michael Malpiedi


Noon of today the cumulonimbus
Discharged fulminological wisdom to my being
And poured drops of knowledge lost to us.

Whispered of how she wonders about our fleeing
From her gentle precipitating kiss,
And she asked if truths are not worth seeing.

She told me that maybe ignorance’s bliss 
Has caused us to forget our creation
From the combination of rains such as this.

Our bodies are her waters after solidification,
And our tears are our dreams
Of melting back within her, the beauty of unification.

And with my enlightenment, all of me returned through streams
Of self evaporating while finding love within crystal seams.
