…and so it is

It’s damp outside
After the passing
Of an early morning shower –
Rain drops lingering on blades of grass
On the red leaves of the maple
On a stray spring beauty
Confused by the cool of the morn
By the light beyond the dawn –
And so it is
About life
Never set in stone
No way to know
When next
To light the candle
When next to dance
With the strings of the symphony
When to hide
In the darkest of shadows

It’s damp outside
The brief morning shower
Moving with the breath
Of the breeze
To a place
Unfamiliar
Leaving behind its footprints
Of a life
Unexpected
Raindrops on the sidewalk
Awaiting the sun
To carry them home –
And so it is
About life
Passing us by
In one brief moment
No way to know
When next
To turn the page
When next to dance
With the shadows in the lamplight
When to hide
Neath the wings of a sparrow

And so it is…
