One of my favorite
Things is to watch
The rain pass me
Having just cleansed me
Of the sooty grime
Of life it carries
On moving like brushes
In the car wash
Removing miles and miles
Carrying on like the
Tears of God Himself
One of my favorite
Things is to watch
The rain pass me
Having just cleansed me
Of the sooty grime
Of life it carries
On moving like brushes
In the car wash
Removing miles and miles
Carrying on like the
Tears of God Himself
I am not looking
For anything of course
That is until I
Do stumble upon it
Realizing it was missing
And how did I
Ever do without it
I no longer prefer
To find someone new
Rather like a monument
Or even natural wonder
I shall sit wait
Being my majestic self
Letting the curious onlookers
Wonder how in the
World something like me
Ever came to be
Poetry is the language
Of the ancient and
Children minds free to
Wander dream and think
Poetry confuses those middle
Minds taught to follow
For poetry never explains
But simply quietly suggests
Where you might go
What I need now
More than anything else
Is the time to
Settle in for winter
And wait for spring
This is what happens
When love freezes over
And waits for someone
Else to warm it
With wink or nod
Or even a hello
Like a daffodil recognized
Amidst the winter’s garden
