Bubbles
Hold on to your thoughts
Lest they float away, or pop
Like the bubbles of your childhood play
Long gone.
***********
Blue Mountain
The dream is mine, held close to the heart
Like a flame cupped against the wind.
Once I climbed a blue mountain.
All around, the air was crisp and clear
And the world was mine.
***********
Rain
Rain fogs the windows
As my eyes blur with tears
Locking me into myself
And memories of another time
With you, when rain
Was a joyous occasion
Braved under a shared umbrella
Laughing faces mocking the skies
That mock me now.
