By Penny Wilkes
The weather changes
Socks lose their mates
Traffic and noise annoy
Tastes fade
Friends lose interest
Ideas wander
We notice a
slide
a dwindle
or a drain
Without looking
backward
or forward
One moment
lingers
for attention
Then buoyancy
lifts us
as we marvel
at the sunset
Discomforts
slip away
into the sea
