The way this blog is going to work is that I will post a poem that I have written either new or old and then above it I will give my prose interpretation of it. My interpretation is not the "right" one, everybody "sees" things from their own perspective.

EMOTIONAL WEATHER

This one comes from my first book BEHIND THE VEIL. Looking back at what was, only makes you wonder about what might have been. Getting stuck in the past limits the future.

EMOTIONAL WEATHER

Sunny memories past
fill my recollections
of happier times.

The warm rain
that falls from my
eyes now moisten
the hard edges
of my life.

Sometimes
all there is
is rain.

Occasionally a ray of light
will burst through the clouds.

This only makes
the memories more
distant and painful.
The seasons may
change, but the
rain remains.
