something was coming on

you felt that

something was coming on

when you finally reached

the back yard

a poem

a string of feeling words

a hard-to-describe color

an urge to move a paint brush

the wind was whispering

in your hair

and the sounds of evening

began to echo through the air

there was warmth inside

but there were wild callings

to stay out

to catch the last puffs

of glowing sunset clouds

a feeling of completeness

but of what?
