Content as the clouds are crying,
calm as the house is still,
I sit under the skylight
numb to the chilling air
that wafts in from
behind the trees.
For a second I forgot you,
how you smelled
when the new wind embraced
the desert,
how you tasted
when you forced your way
into my mind.
You're like a thousand pianos
playing the same song
around me every second;
ringing as I drown
underneath you.
I tried to follow the sound
to find a clearer tune,
but only did it return to noise
as it became louder,
and cluttered with deafening
silence.
Spiraling in circles,
I can feel you
in every direction,
like familiar faces
that I can't remember.
I am afraid that now
you flow right through me,
as if I am just another cloud
floating in and out of
existence.

A bounty of words to express "Summer Rain". I love the rain and your "Contents of clouds are crying".
Lovely imagery.

Wow. When I was sitting here thinking about weddings I wanted a change of pace and saw your poem on my startup page. I am so glad I clicked it, you are an amazing poetess Kerri.
I think my favorite stanza was the 4th one, you spoke through your heart in this poem and let something slip through that a lot of people don't see.
Wonderfully written and I love the title it fits the piece beautifully.
Always,
Tati

My first thoughts were: Oh my God.
I am so deeply awed, continuosly lost in thought over the words that you have managed to set across. It's beautiful and the feeling I got from this was so overwhelming and overpowering.
I love the nature pieces inserted into this. A fine example of poetry... I loved it a lot.
Blessed be

Prettyful Kerri. absolutely prettyful. I lost in your owrds once again, and found myself imagining your world for a moment, traveling on gentle winds to watch over you as you describe what seems to be a short story of how you feel. 
Simply awe'd me.
