Angry Sky

Angry sky
Above vacant land
Allows a torrent
That never satisfies
For the land
Is always thirsty

Great dead lake dying
Beneath a punishing sun
No relief in sight

The golden hues of sunrise
Seem always
Somehow
More precious
Than the golden goodbye
Of sunset

Arrives the dawn in golden glory
Sunlight’s kiss good morning

Rise ye
Rise ye

The universe is calling

The little window
In the northern wall
Through which the lovely light falls
When the drapes aren’t closed

Sometimes
Life moves at a pace
I cannot keep

Or rather
Life moves
I simply do not

And in my disastrous stillness
The dust storm rolls in
Without hesitation

To Roll
Over
Me

Move or don’t move
Retreat or don’t retreat
Seek cover or…

Let
The dust
Take me

In the midst
Of expansive glory
She finds wonder
In the smallest
Little things

It is that smallest
Little thing
About her
I love
Most

Sometimes
Even in the darkest times
All I need
To keep me grounded
Is a centre line
Through open country

A trickle
Where sometimes a flood
In a land grown thirsty
While from the sun falls
Torrents of heat
And light
In a valley
Deeper than shadow

Rule of Thirds tells me
Never place the horizon
In the middle of the frame

But I am often as enraptured
With the sky as the land

So break that rule without remorse
