Cool Winds


cool winds blow underneath my thoughts

announcing the return of fall and the

coming of winter...  isolated images

stand at the ready to intercept the

changes in our environment...  stages

of concern leave every hour from the

terminals of doubt that were built

during the summer months when labor

was cheap and plentifful...  sparrows of

innocence have flown south with all

the hummingbirds that were nourished

on our back porches...  cool winds blow

each morning now, carressing our

blossoming thoughts like boys and girls

tease each other at school dances...  and,

we sense winter is coming but at not

prepared for its severities...  distant

clouds of judgement linger at the horizons

of our mental sight in anticipation of

an unnatural forecast that will shed

more light than desired on our futile

beliefs that were implanted at birth on

those humid days when we had sheltered

ourselves inside the cool protection of 

our imagination and fantasies...  a cool

wind blows across the face of our future

and we are forced to acknowledge its

presence and an abrupt end to our not

so mature warm weather curiosities.
