Weather
(5-2-99)
by David B. Rhaesa
 
Third day in a row
Of gloomy weather
Tears from the sky
Nature herself overcast

Does my mood reflect
This gloomy weather or
Does the weather reflect
My mood?

Either way
I will find some beat
A rhythm
To follow through this day
And on to another
And another
Wondering where I will find
What it was I saw in your eyes
So many times.

Once I saw it always
Lately only glimpses of the spark
That renews me.
I hang on to that glimpse far too hard
And my grip scares you
And letting go scares me
And so here we are
Another gloomy weathered day
In Colorado in May.
