misty day

Misty Day
Glancing out of the window, I see the potted plant
 on the sill and the house on the other side of
 the road, the light is fading, and the plant looks as
 sad as a whitewashed wall in the rain whiteness
 is an illusion caused by the sun.
Mist of grief encircles olive trees, are blank
 tears on my almond tree´s spindly twigs, yet inside
 each droplet sees a tiny world reflecting my own,
 only with greater incorruptibility of the untested.
 And far away, as a whisper, a mother sings a lullaby.
