The Storm

 

Summoned, the storm 

charges over the mountains

sending ahead of its dense burden

a chill wind

 

crowding the blue

with grey 

billowing quilts

 

and you realize we have all

done this 

to a clear day

 

or scowled at 

a storm

with our own

darkness

 

even as it 

turns back the covers

for an untroubled 

sky

 

and in moving aside

reveals 

how to embellish

the light.
