Breath of a Different Weather

To Never Breathe Again 


No  breeze in the night-time
The winter weather goes
The heat runs out of sunshine
nobody knows
Summer refuses
Spring is passing a different change
The last fresh air we use
The world's gone strange
The weather's confused
No autumn leaves to rearrange
No whispers in the wind
The air is dry
No pouring in the rain
The storm does not cry
No loudness in thunder
The lightning no longer strikes high
No one then wonders
The answer is why?
The water is not splashing
No clouds in the sky
The weather's not passing
Can the weather just die?

SKAT This is an interesting and creative write that has a very powerful and deep question at the end which is a brain teaser. Thank you for the great comment on my If I Were A Man poem.

Interesting thought. I'm thankful the weather is always changing, making each day's atmosphere unique. You give readers a picture of what it'd be like without. Awesome, you made the front page news! : )

Hmmm ... interesting question here at the end of this very melodic write!! There are a number of words I could play school teacher with and correct the spelling but I really enjoy your "voice" just the way it is ... smile ...
