August Storms

The arrival of the August storm

The wind and the rain

And the threatening sky

Dog and cat sit here

One scratches and the other

The end of the month comes

And again the journey took roads not known

Stops and goes along the way

Making sure nothing was cast aside

Keeping track of every letter

Of every contact

Of every eye

Of anyone that cared to stop by

And look at their reflection

In the dark pool next

Finally a close

A cover drawn to the edge

Maybe when the world stops spinning

And the stars show no reason to move

And the wind dies down

I will get up

Make sense of needing

Things should be like plants that grow

It’s your birthday today
