-- WIND AND RAIN –
John Herlihy
Hoping for everything
Praying for nothing
Destiny has its way
Whatever I may say
At the edge of time
The moment never mine
To inhabit before or after
Much sadness or laughter
The past was once now
We did live somehow
Now was once the future
Soon the future will be past
Wind as breath, rain as tears
The sound as lilting music to ears
With ease, a rambling mind stilled
With content, an empty heart filled.

With the wind blowing my sales and the sweet rain washing my body and watering my plants I rest contented, regardless of my fate.
