I hear birds on the roof
tapping on the shingles
chattering about the rain
and the frosty breeze that tingles

washing over me an ocean wave
of yesterday’s regret
around and around in my head
pulling me back so I can’t forget

we used to paddle a canoe
to a place we called Blueberry Island
we felt bravely adventurous
so many years ago my friend

time takes its toll the days unroll
our separate ways complete
but never in my life again
did I taste a berry as sweet
