trilogy

trilogy 1 —fog

country fog on an early summer morning
burnt off by a sunny sky
morning fog settling over the city
misting like a gentle rain
afternoon fog rolling up over the boulevard
into our town from the ocean
we're
walking now on the beach
through a ground fog

trilogy 2 — rain

cloudbreak!
remembering places past
a festival of rain on the roof
and on the sidewalks too
sad and sorrowful rain in my heart
it's raining wistful memories
timetouchers touching times past
but morning light still breaks
us
into a day of nostalgia
lunch on main street
endless talk
street puddles
sunshower and
out to the stable to clean the stalls
then up in the organ gallery while the
music of sweelinck rings through all the room
rain is over now
it's night
the sky's full of stars
welcome to your world of dreams

trilogy 3 — santa ana winds

they're back again unsettling the land
making their powerful presence felt
with dry heat
with fast winds
biking along the beach, free style
wind in my hair, free style
no work today
nothing but play, free style
high dry winds
driving me into paradise
