reflections in the rain…

reflections in the rain

an evening thunderstorm
caught me
without my rain gear
and
the brown bag prophet
caught me
before
reaching my car door
offering shelter
beneath his
beach umbrella
he said
i was
just thinking about
this woman
i knew
lord she was fine
but
we lost touch
that made me
begin
to hate the fact
that i cannot
go back in time
and
change
a few things
people
i
should’ve
said
i love you to
and
others
something less
accepting
but
i realize
i cannot go back
so i’ve
also
begun to realize
that each moment
of the day
is precious
he waited
for me to open
the car door
and
i
and
my impatience
felt
rewarded

  1. This seems to be what successful aging is all about. We have some regrets – but let them go when we realize they can result in a better today. And it is all about relationships. Nice, Charlie.

  2. You are right Charlie, we cannot go back and get yesterday, but we can start anew. I love walking in the rain, enjoyed this one.

  3. I absolutely loved being fully immersed in your amazing words…reading them whilst hearing them was incredible! Thank you…for sharing in this way, in so very personal a manner. I am intrigued…
