I Never Meant For It To Rain

The day was good,
the sun shining, a breeze 
winding around the pines.
Two mockingbirds 
were playing 
guess me.

Cumuli loitered 
above ground shadows
with cats jumping
from one to the other
in a game that only 
they understood.

I felt the stirring of precipitate
motion on my cheek as a shadow
passed by whispering the words
of an old song by Townes
about going down to see Kathleen.
I never meant for it to rain.
