Forecast

I hang a chart for prophecy
made by myself with signs of
my own zodiac. No use to warn
me of winds that blind my door
with rain, beat down flowers,
tear at the trees, not my day
to grieve. Your voice along
wired air opens my world to
different weather and I read
my own forecast that clears
the clouds when heart says
bright and fair.
