To Weather the Storm
May it crash and timber.
Scatter light across the horizon
Peel clouds over the darkening
Grass and pour wind across trees.
Breathe deep, the storm,
A long deep breath,
Billowing upwards and outwards,
See inside black cloud veins; the creeping
Thunder crackling into avalanche cries.
Crash now, waning storm,
Slower, slow, then steadily thunder
Over ears and shoulders that shudder,
Hearing that voice in the air, the one that
Shouts its whispers upon the lower sky
of green and blue.
May the rain of April tremble
As the clouds swell to quell any deep sun
Within the Earth’s warm heart, Let it turn
To cool blue streaks
