Autumn Showers

image

Fast approaching winter

but I’ve never liked the weather

when snow hits the ground.

I much prefer the sunshine

and the summer heat

melting everything in its path.

Such sad prose finding its way

in the melody and the harmony

of a song like his and hers.

Autumn showers like spring

gazed upon the winds of the west.

Much more than tomorrow

and yesterday becoming like today.

I’ve escaped the vast majority

turning into a cyclone of the winds.

I am a wise bird but not like the ones

you read in magazines and newspapers.

I’m more of the girl who had nothing

to lose but herself in the rays

of the sunlight coming from above.

The process of becoming

is like Autumn showers without the rainbow

after we’ve done things recklessly.

Cheated in games and exams.

It was something we’ve both done

but it means nothing if we love

the things that come by within the day.

Forty years of your life was spent

waiting on someone like me

to love and to hold in the night.
