THIS DAY
FAIR WINDS
Gray skies
Shade my window
The slow parade
Of clouds drifting by
Whimsy weaves
Through sigh-puffed memories
Happy, sad smiles
Crease my face
Melancholy rain
Swells my eyes
Grief softly glides
Down mystic cheeks
Outside
The wind holds
The sultry air
Close as breath
Brined seagrass
Bends toward summer
Seabirds pace
Pensive shallows
They know
The old pier
Echoes boyish laughter
Shadowed footsteps
Race across the sand
The sun peeks
The tide perks
The bay shyly glimmers
This day
Waits for you
-for my son, Liam, who would have turned 35 today. Fair winds.
