Why is it that always
when the raindrops drum
across the windowsill
and the chill of winter
reminds of its presence
when trees are supposed
to bloom and flowers are
meant to burst in colour
I find a comfort in the
warm embrace of days past
and it's hard to tell
whether I look back and
I mourn or whether I look
back and I celebrate
the days weeks months
stacked like a house of
cards on this journey
this path which I tread
and whether I wish I was
still within the temporal
dimension I knew so well
or whether I rather enjoy
this metamorphosis unseen
which occurred to my being
from the days I daydream in
to the days I exist in?
