Umbrella Uplifted, Full of Rain

Dipped my umbrella Full of your vows and my fears I skipped across the laketop Dipped, rinsed them both out, Had to decide if ‘I do’ I ran off from the altar And let the sweet lake, Friend without expectations Cascade onto my shoulders And wash out my hair Wash out my fear of living Remind me of our dreams, love I will not be back I, of the fey, and you, man The forest grasses my home I have run away I, to return to my house That nests among the flowers And yet I loved you Dreamed all our dreams in your arms And hoped for days together But I and others Who whispered of sweet meadows Called me back! Wherefore, I go! (1.) 7/8/2019
