Hair

Gusty wind blows
      thick gray clouds are heavy
        ....rain is out of season
               but...impending
....i have no scarf
               ...no umbrella
             to cover my head

          .....but, i worry not......
                          
...................

       every strand
            of my short hair  
is wrapped with your soft kisses
          and whispers of sweet nothings
.....................
    your voice,
             your words
spread all over my head                          
         and there rests.....and sticks
                ......with every
                ...........thin brown strand...

......................

           i hear the gentle tones of your soft kisses
                    feel the warmth of your breath
                       your whispered promises
                             are reassuringly clear
               they form a canopy...a bonnet that protects
                                    and reminds
                        .....you are always with me.....

                               ...i am never alone...

  ......................

                   ......I welcome the wind and the rain......
