Fall is here, a light sprinkle is upon us,
Rushing, trying not to be late, I run
Barely hearing the patter of the rain,
Over the cascading torrent of noise
And nothing more.
Trying not to be late
A week ray of sunlight is
Peaking tentatively through
The clouds, making an
Attempted progression at
Natural peace.
A watery glow spills over
Admiring scenery made to look real
Children play, cars rumble passed,
Luscious green trees surround
That ideal place I see
Crowded streets bar my path
As sweet droplets of rain
are gently pushed, caressed,
By the wind
into my open mouth.
Running, I am encumbered,
By average materials
mail boxes, signs,
Anything trying to keep me
from my late destination.
Clean fresh air,
Tickles at the edge of consciousness,
Stopping now,
Is beyond my comprehension
while trying not to lose my focus.
Wind at my back,
Pushing me forward now,
Into the sun’s glair
denying impartial sight,
While
declineing my imagination
too.
