Mag 141 — Before the New Normal

Let's remember this:

that, before the New Normal,

there were autumns with mist

that filled the air, dampening

our clothes and our hair --

glossing colored leaves

 before they fell from trees

 that stood through winter, waiting

for tender green replacements.

There were light romantic rains

that made our lips plump

for kissing, as the hissing

of tires on the street

made music for the walk home.

Written for The Mag: Mag 141 that inspired with the above photo prompt. 

My heart and thoughts go out to all those affected by the enormous destruction caused by Sandy.
