My Life is Weatherbound

 

MY LIFE IS WEATHERBOUND

 

H. W. Bryce

 

Red mini comp of Feb 21/21

My life is weatherbound.

First, the snow, then the rain,

The frost, the sleet, the hail, the sun.

Can’t get free of this weather.

 

How am I?

I am weather bound.

It’s always there.

When it storms, I must stay in;

When it suns, I bake.

Two days are never the same.

–sometimes the weather dictates

My mood: During a storm, I brood;

During the sunshine, I tend to shine.

Much like Shakespeare’s characters.

Weather and witches rule.

For sure, my life is weatherbound.

 

My life is whether bound.

Whether I decide to go or come,

Be here or where I’m from,

Go for the old brass ring

Or stay and fight the day’s sting,

Whether I do or do not,

About every little thing.

Whether I love you,

Or if I am just smitten and I do.

Whether I am up or upside down.

For sure, my life is whetherbound.

 

Whether I live by the weather

Or live by my life depends upon

Whether I can weather the storms

Outside and the storms within,

Stick to my goals or dash off to

The beach, Work on my work/poem/novel

Or work on my tan.

 

Calm the inner storm; brave the outer.
