Eternal summers
Afternoon rain showers
Drifting through my mind
Rays of sunshine
Warming me
Melting the cold icicles of snow
That covers my soul.
I dream
Of roadside conversations
And walking around small neighborhoods
Where people know each other
Exchanging looks
A nod of heads
They say,
“Oh you’re back”
“Since when have you been home?”
And I would say,
“It’s been a long time.”
I smile and look around me
It’s a cold winter day.
It’s been some time
I would say.
It’s been some time.
