Umbrella
let me find an umbrella
that keeps off the rain
let me find the protection
i once so eagerly dreamed of
when i was a child
when my dreams stretched out
but the waves were too wild
James Garratt – June 2007

I never get notifications – my Email would be spammed, I read a few poets… always find new stuff in my reader… I prefer it that way. 🙂
