Nobody can notice your tears
In the bite of the January rains
They merge in salty stings
And into one long stream of memories
Umbrella fights your hand
Unruly and restless in the teasing winds
And blown inside out like your heart
The struggle commemorates the days you shared on this path of laughter and sun
And the suck and cast of the sea
Is now your only companion
As you battle on and on
Back home again
To the warmth of tea
And quiet reminiscence
