A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


twisted forecast

 

 

ambivalent skies

blue to gray heart

inevitable storms invade

future memories

 

rain is sometimes soft

just touches the petals gently

 

other times we are swept away

violently absorbing the pelting winds of change

 

sun for some is rare

we reach towards it

with longing

 

but days of smiles seem shorter

than 24 hours,

 

while the aftermath of storms

feels like years.

It is easier to remember when we were hurt. It leaves a mark. This is why we need the sun.

The weathering of the soul...can show storm damage more prominent than the kindest of times.
Feels that way sometimes. And because you've seen the warning signs before, you know what's coming...
Bitter with the sweet.
