i won't forget you....

the sky painted itself with shades of indigo blue

then magically opened up

but

when the rain appeared

it felt out of place and i saw it blush as it quickly retreated

with the air being balmy for november

i ignored the tornado watches

and

went for a walk

the sun danced around me and played hide and seek between the dried prairie reeds

while

the winds picked up and threw me around a bit

just to remind me that this is november

the droplets left behind from the earlier rain

clung to the branches

refusing to fall

making my walk around the pond

look like little fairies had put their christmas lights up early

~

i wish you could have been there
