Weather

Multitude of things are affected by the weather.

Weather                         by Sami Khalil

Now that I’m older,

clambering out of bed,

I feel more the exasperation,

when skies of no shoring,

rain cats and dogs.

In the solace of the moment,

ripples on the water

seem like crystal balls,

across the quays as ships

disappear in the distance.

Strange how birds, in reverence,

Quiet their songs, refrain their whirring.

The weather might cooperate,

other times it does not.

Now that I’m older,

I see faces awash

in conceited needs.

Even flowers on graves need rain.

"conceited needs"
the older we get the more we realize the less we really need.
I love the last line....yes, even those flowers need rain to stay alive, but we don't need rain to keep alive the memory of those we have lost over the years.
nicely done, Sami,

Wowzy! All true and well said sir Jacob. I guess our bodies weather as the weather. One foot in the grave, we still need rain as God's grace and help. We take things for granted, even the simple act of getting out of bed to face life and its changing weather. See you soon sir.

Me too my friend.
"Now that I’m older,
I see faces awash
in conceited needs.
Even flowers on graves need rain."
