all this time

the water trickled down the path 

to the dark puddle at my feet 

i wore a jacket, a beanie on my head 

and still i was soaked partially 


i looked into the distance 

at the changing sky 

and meandered as if i trailed 

behind answers to why 


in time i came to look up 

to accept the rain and let it be

drenching the earth to enrich the soil 

and wash the anger out of me  


i had traveled this world meeting many 

who let me win then let me loose 

and after all this time i’ve wanted to cry 

where, my sweet love, were you?

(and yes, i meant “loose”)
