Poem Artwork

Honeysuckle Rain
I lay my weary head down,
Beside the murmuring stream.
Like it never happened,
Like it was just a dream.

No time to take my boots off,
No time for me to preen.
I just lay me down,
Amid the verdant green.

Warm there in that hollow,
The rain began to fall.
To thin the red of war,
And dim its awful pall.

Sweet to my nostrils,
The honeysuckle came.
As I lay there dying,
In the honeysuckle rain.

I dreamed of my comrades,
Who gave their lives in vain.
On the ridge that morning,
Air heavy with pending pain.

I awoke to brilliant sunlight,
And morning birds' refrain.
The sleep of night had saved me,
And the honeysuckle rain.

H e a r t b r e a k i n g. Yet there is the sun and the birds
and that beautiful, beautiful honeysuckle rain waiting for
him. I love this, Ronald. Thank you so much for helping me
find it. 'Pea' <3

I can taste and breath in the sweetness of this poem. I can feel fear and an anxious heart, I can see the scene in my own private brain pictures. This poem is an unforgetable write. Very good!

I found this to be a beautifully sad write. Maybe I am strange but though the ending and most parts in between were wonderful it still twisted at the heart... ah yes, and the fragrance of it all... the sounds, the visual... brilliant
