meteorological questions

 

 

tattered compromises

aged, weathered pockets of clouds

your face, the blue sky among them

 

but you are wearing another

and my intermittent rain of regret

still ponders my roof

 

with drops of maybes

could be's 

and very certain what ifs

Life is too short to live with regret. After every storm the sun eventually shines and brings new life once the rains are absorbed. It sounds like a good dose of sunshine is needed after this one ;)

I like the uncertainty and indecisive attitude of your writing. I often thought of the word weather combined with my mind, like the weather of my mind, which this one reminds me of. Still your words read so calm and lovely, a pleasure to my mind.

Great weather metaphor here. Just as the weather is unpredictable, so are affairs of the heart. Compromise...often it seems not worth it. Lydi**

[jacob erin-cilberto]

don't think there is as much compromise left in me as there used to be...

thank you, Lydi.

As we age, compromise is more difficult unless it is for someone who means a great deal and is going to be in our lives a long time. Patience wears thin.
