Never Trust A Weatherman (Maybe Just This Once)A Poem by Olmsted A. T.Never Trust A Weatherman (Maybe This One Time) How long can I hold on to the ghosts of our memories How long can I sing our song when there’s not even the bare-boned skeleton of a melody All that I have left is a polaroid of us together Walking hand in hand though it’s blurred with time and happened to be shot in the most inclement of weather But you still look as beautiful to me now maybe even more so than I knew you did then that’s what hurts most when the storm clouds swell and I’m forced to make myself admit there’s a 50% chance I’ll get to kiss you again But as a young man there was a lesson it was a lesson I learned well You can never trust a weatherman and that mantra has seemed to help So as I raise a glass of hope to the moon and I toast this balmy bayou night Wondering where you are and daydream of being by your side when the forecast called for rain the sun continued to shine through bright and I hope this time that the weatherman for a change just might be right © 2013 Olmsted A.
