The Rain, the Snow, the Wind

That which is recurring comes and goes, yet always remains

Image by พงษ์ดนัย ทองเกษม from Pixabay

Rain falls fifty years ago, I am a wet boy sailing a toy boat in small streams alongside curbs.

Rain falls fifty minutes ago, I mutter bitterly about the umbrella hanging dryly in my closet.

Snow falls when I am 8, I ask my mother for a carrot to use for a snowman’s nose.

Snow falls when I am 55, I regret turning down the job that was waiting for me in Orlando.

The wind blows where it will when I am a child, a teen, a young up-and-comer, a man with gray hair.

The wind blows where it will and I imagine a dove in flight, leading me back to my own lost heart.
