I want the cool winds

Yesterday as I

drove to the assisted living

I noticed the skies getting darker. 

After we arrived

in the parking lot,

I took my sunglasses off. 

The skies didn’t appear

to be overcast,

and yet the atmosphere

was present.  

By the time I returned home,

the sky looked more overcast –

like it does before it rains. 

But the air itself said:

IT IS NEVER GOING

TO RAIN AGAIN –

it was ugly and hot –

not at all inviting. 

I loved the cool breeze

of the last two days before. 

I’d love for the breeze to return

and dwell for the duration.
