Mists and downpours;

Bursting, drifting
Floating, falling,
Coming down
In buckets.

In a rain 
downpour
to keep from 
getting wet,
we open 
an umbrella
put it 
overhead,
but yet........
I wish 
to make
a suggestion,
that may 
take 
a moment

Of all my almost-loves and far-too-soons,
Hers brought a heat most akin to summer’s sun.

Bends lovingly about to hug my knees.
And the whoosh of their leaves,
brings back multitudinous memories.
