Poetry Comment Index On Such A Day This morning, when people on the dark road Have nothing to do but invent their lives, A feeling I mistook for being tired Sends me into the rain, looking for things Of which I am made, places and old loves, For certainties and half remembered songs. I am grateful for the rain and for downs In mist where solitary people move Above the huddled, anonymous towns Then are gone. All day, I have driven roads And stopped at places I should never leave, That is how it feels. Memories my guides. Today, indistinct and vaguely troubled, I search for things I left here long ago And for words I may have only gabbled When light began to fade across the weald. Words that gave shape to a younger ego, A time beyond reclaiming, bought and sold. This evening, when those I never knew Are returning to their firesides, I drive From an undocumented then to now, Hold it all in some kind of reverence Or as something of value I must save Or something that may have been my life, once. Ian Caws
