Converging--by Adam Romanowicz
INSTANCE
Spontaneous flame did burst
Upon the tree
Soaring on the wind
Tornadic fire to consume
Rush
Crackle
Snap
Unfurl
Drawing Earth
Up heaving world
Eagle cries out into wind
Taking messages
Kindred twin
Raging wind
Thunder’s roar
Lightning’s warning
A silent pause deep in the din
A raindrop trickles down her skin
Melting rage and fire deep
Within a soul
In a moment she remembers
Stretches arms up to the sky
Calling torrents of the welcome rain to kiss away pain

Yes. I feel the fire deep within my soul soothed and nourished by deeply feeling the pain, and embracing the cool raindrops.

The welcome rain, dousing the fire, easing the pain – I like how you turned the photo into a story, a story of nature and a story of a relationship.

The writing of it is and was a reminding to myself of relationship and vision. Nature, the ultimate funny fractal!

I love that word ‘tornadic’ what a great poem you saw in what I thought looked like the belly button of a balloon lol!

I’d like to see you write about the belly button of a balloon! I wonder if the actuality of it would outstrip my imagination of it, or will I determine it only a belly button in comparison. Gosh, the thinks I can think!

Rain and particularly singular drops of water fascinate me and root me within the single moment of noticing them. I haven’t yet a word that I’d wish to stick with to describe this, but just now I am thinking of how the miracle of just one drop is larger all around me with each tiny tiny thing the comprises each object, each thought about them, rippling outward toward me and back into the world endlessly, no matter if my body or my thought form at a moment remains in existence at all. It’s amazing to me!
