Holding The Rain

I'll hold the rain Close to my temple today, Like a seashell of time Turned upside down, Like a trail of scented dreams, Grown and falling From my sapphire gown.    I'll hold your hand Close to my heart today, To hear the waves of the ocean I'm facing, To guide my thoughts Through the starless nights I'm chasing Away... I'll hold the rain In the palms of my hands And yours She'll tell us stories Of valleys and heights With crystal voices And magical wondrous sights    We'll sit by the ocean, Gathering stars, And ripen dreams, one by one, Counting the waves, And turning the time With seashells arms, And nights sublime,  Holding the rain Upside down.  ©  Copyright 2011 Cristina Miller
