Wet Cheeks

Wet Cheeks

A Poem by Donald Meikle

The steepness of a hill on memory lane

As sun shines through whispered clouds

as tireder shoulders welcome rain

wet fingers grasp at shrouds

It's always easy going down

And okay to be alone

But only for a while

Powerful. Yes, reflection is great but you need to avoid becoming too obsessed. You've conveyed that so well in juxtaposing "whispered clouds" and "shrouds", one showing the lightness and beauty of the message conveyed, the other indicating death. The themes are well-unified by the lines.

It's always easy going down

And okay to be alone

But only for a while
