August

Is it not strange this August rain?

What does it mean? Nothing I fear

The wild summer heat, the garden grass green

Yet you sit and crave the cold fleeting days ,

a sip of hot tea and a few words to read

in the long quiet night by the fire's side.

A month lost as you long for winter to come along

And perhaps in that sense I'm a lot like August forever out of focus

Rambling in the middle like some unsolved riddle

Unbeknownst to the world always a little less loved
