Mark Wayne – Author and Warrior
Sometimes there is no justice only mercy
Blessings and sorrows
Our lives change like the weather
Now and tomorrow

This post is in response to this weeks prompt on The Reverie to write about the weather. A thousand ideas have been swirling through my mind like a howling windstorm after reading the prompt and yet this little haiku is all that made any sense on paper. Hey, sometimes you can over complicate these things so kept it simple! ~M
Sunshine is delicious, …, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.~John Ruskin
the rainfall strains of the day remains
gray cloudy skies
hide the sun
and last goodbyes
the autumns refrain of the coming pains
summer’s gone away
on the wind
songs of yesterday
the remembered chains of hope will reign

(This picture was taken out the window of my studio, of a gray rainy day in the Pacific Northwest and lightly edited using PicMonkey. Typical especially for the first day of fall and a little reminder of things yet to come. But let the poem and photo be a reminder to cling to hope even in the gray and ‘just believe’ for in the end ‘love wins!’~M)
When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone,
but the righteous stand firm forever.
~Proverbs 10:25
