Seasonal

Reality kicks in
like an icy wind across my face
as if on a northern beach on a winter morning
snail like pace
like so many winter mornings
in my life.

The sun sets quickly
and the chill is still
in the air.
I wait for the warmth
of a summer day again,
in the summer days
of my life.

Wrestling with the facts
and arranging them all
in neat little organized compartments
like a shadow box
that details the sunset
the sunset of my life.

New chapters
old schools
hard knocks
played by fools
again a new year
with new seasons
constantly changing weather,
the changing weather
of my life.
