it is winter now and raining
as it rarely did then
another lifetime…do you recall
a warm glow to your skin
as you stood amidst glittering sand
receiving the ocean’s salty mist
a warm wind carving waves
the rain reminds me as a child when
swimming past rolling waves
to a calm ocean to hold my raft
and even the depth beneath me
held no fear
i seemed to drift as it were
past people i did not know as
playing amongst the salty brine
they seemed to fade away
and i remained
it is winter now and raining
as it rarely did then
another lifetime…do you recall
