A DRIZMAL DAY

 


A DRIZMAL DAY

This morning, I awoke to a world wrapped in velvet

soft and grey ... a drizmal day,

where pregnant clouds still full of promise

hung heavy after the rain

and lowering clouds offered hope.

 

Scudding squalls turned

black bitumen ribbons and red dirt roads

into slick slippery dips

that caught the unwary

in maniacal maneuvers.

 

What happened to us?

Once we awoke wrapped in each other's arms,

speaking without words - love our silent companion.

But now we are tongue tied,

our broken pieces like fallen rose petals

decaying around what was once beautiful.

 

Jumping in puddles is no fun alone.

This morning, I awoke to a world wrapped in velvet

soft and grey ... a drizmal day.
