A Question For You? Poem by RIC BASTASA

i ask the wind
when will i ever see you again?

and the clouds hear it and then
the sun shines telling it is when the clear day comes again

and then i wait and there is rain for days and days.

on a clear day, the sun shines the flowers bloom and i wait again

there is no you, not even a shadow, and i left

the sun, the wind, the rain, the clouds

they have nothing to give for my quest for answers,
useless metaphors, broken promises, empty poems
shattered dreams
