I wrote this following poem with AI, throw in some thoughts on what it is about!
The rain always introduces itself
as if we’ve never met before.
I still leave windows cracked open,
still trust the sky’s softer colors,
still mistake a quiet evening
for a promise.
The birds know better.
They rise from branches
at the smallest shift in wind,
while I remain seated,
calling it patience,
calling it faith,
calling it anything but what it is.
Sometimes I watch the tide erase
its own footprints from the sand
and wonder why I’m surprised.
The sea has always been the sea.
Yet every time the shoreline retreats,
I stand there waiting for an apology,
for some sign it meant to stay.
Do you ever learn?
Or do you simply become fluent
in the language of departures—
able to translate silence,
read distance,
and still hope the next sentence
ends differently?
