The rain came
Slow at first
Then a deluge
Warm, sultry, silent
Afternoons such as this
Special summer days
Two friends walking
Through deserted fields
A memory stirs
From long ago
A similar walk, a similar dog
Half a life time gone
Two days so similar
Yet far apart
What has gone is done but yet to come
Who knows?
The rain is cold now
Another walk, another dog
Just like today
Twenty years from now?
