The Wind Blew Today

The wind blew today, and I saw a youthful you in the bustle of the leaves. When the wind shifted directions, I saw the moment I knew that I loved you. I remembered it solemnly.

The rains raged today, and as drops fell, I saw you wash away and out of my life; and I shuttered with the memory.

The clouds drifted by today, and they showed me an older you; and I ached because I missed you.

The sun shone bright today, and in its rays I saw your end; and my heart stopped as I wept for you.

LIAR

“You are a liar!” I chuckled.

“I’m sorry, what did you just call me?”

“L-I-A-R. That spells liar, which is what you are.”

“Why would you say that?” she asked with a pained tone.

“Because you are the mother of five very alert children, and you are proudly bragging about how sad you are that summer vacation is over, so I say you are lying.” The other woman’s mouth dropped wide open.

“Well, that is just rude. What kind of a person are you? Or better yet, what kind of a mother are you?”

“An honest one,” I said firmly.

The Daughter Rose

I am wrapped up tight within myself, hoping to gain enough strength to one day be seen. And who do I wish to be seen by? The world of course, but mostly by the one who nourished me; yes, that is who I want to be adored by the most. She gives me the sun and the rains to make me strong. And with each passing day I feel my strength increasing. The light of life begins to pass through my velvety soft skin. I loosen up and begin to spread apart, blossoming into what I am meant to be.
