Gloomy haze

Gloomy haze
Went on a trail once
Were only deer have been before
In a gloomy rain
a hook in the water
The clouds were so low
the mountains so high
the clouds seemed to walked with us
to a spot on the edge of memories
the rain came down in a down pore
Socking everything to the core
cold in a haze of shadows
to a spot on a mountainside
don’t remember if a got a bite
or even a cold on that day in the down pore
but I remember walking with my dad
in that rainy gloom and being happy
even through the cold
on a unused game trail in obscurity
trees just an outline
talking about nothing
and wondering why
triggers of a memory come out of nowhere
but every time it rains
like the rain looking through fog
so thick trees become murky shadows
I am walking on a game in obscurity
A little happiness in the freezing cold
On the hottest day in June
Thinking about mountain tops
On the sandy beach predetermined
Thinking what is the last word
On the last line
Should it have been happy?
