In the mezzo part of
last night,
an early spring rain
was having a quiet
tete-a-tete with
the weary snow,
a checking in,
an any new rules
this season
kind of
pillow talk
As the hour passed,
their heart to heart
joined the clock’s
nightly rhythmic score
and began to
drum a lovely loneliness
into the
threshold
of a
dream

Hi Katrin,
..."a lovely loneliness into the threshold of a dream"....a particularly evocative part of the poem. I could feel the words inside my heart.
Beautiful!
