Memories form like an icicle
Sharp then dull
Clouded by the winter air
Solid at first
But time passes
The icicle melts
What was once very apparent
Is now a foggy puddle
Seeping slowly into the ground
deep into the cracks of the Earth
Some fall too far
Gone forever
But for others
Spring comes again
Ice is now water
Reborn it rises above us
Into the clouds
And just when a memory feels distant
It comes back down
In showers this time
An emotional swirls
Louder!
Raindrops multiply
Banging on the roofs of cars and houses
Wanting to be heard
Thunder booms
Lightning strikes
More dramatic than before
A final roar into the night
Is it for nothing?
It all ends the same
