A darkening sky
Presages promised raindrops
As a storm rolls in
Rain pelting downward
Deafening crash of thunder
Lightning lights the sky
Brave majestic trees
Standing tall and proud resist
Mother Nature’s wrath
Hurricanes swirling
Palm trees bending and twirling
Waves erase the beach
The rhythm of life
Punctuated with pauses
And cymbals clanging
Wild angry waves
Howling wind and blinding rain
This storm too shall pass
Drip, drip, the rain drops
Splattering the wet sidewalk
Soaking people’s shoes
Palm fronds frame the moon
as birds patrol salt-water
lagoon’s tree-lined shores
Spirit Lights The Way
