For an old friend, my sentiments without apology <br /> <br />I send a song of Appalachian rain, <br />As soothing as an old tin roof's refrain, <br />A lullaby to let you dream again. <br /> <br />Like a gray bird upon your windowsill, <br />With wings spread wide to shelter you from chill, <br />It warms your winter with my lyrics still. <br /> <br />Friend, weather seems to have an empathy <br />With that frail essence that is you and me. <br />The art of music is simplicity. <br /> <br />Copyright, Sandra Fowler<br /><br />Sandra Fowler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/appalachian-rain/
