Rumours of Summer
“living is hard
You never know just what you’ll find.”
She watches his lips
With the volume turned down in her mind.
And it’s only 8.30
The glasses are dirty
And the Saturday boys
Are all Saturday joys.
It’s the first drink he’s tasted
but he’s always felt wasted
And she stares at the wall
To be done with it all.
Never despair, for sun always follows the rain.
And nothing is sudden
It’s always a slow march
From sowing to grain.
There’s a line in the sand.
See what the tide’s left behind.
A jumble of cares.
The sea can be cruel, can be kind.
And for every mistake,
False start and out-take
There’s a thin jagged trace
Through the lines on her face.
And the King Tide retreats
With triumphant defeat
And the deafening roar
Of an army at war.
Never despair, for sun always follows the rain.
And nothing is sudden
It’s always a slow march
From sowing to grain.
A carnival band
wove through the street long ago
scattering tunes
to a young girl at the edge of the show.
And it’s not that she’d ever
Trade place with a beggar
Or banish belief
To the mind of a thief,
But a cushion of sweetness,
an hour of completeness
Might be what she needs
To pull petals from weeds.
Never despair, for sun always follows the rain.
And nothing is sudden
It’s always a slow march
From sowing to grain.
