Storm Colors

Perspective

I

Earth groans,

A monster's sound

From below

As humans watch channels

Flicker, flicker

As light goes.

Rain?

Not yet.

A dull sky

Erased

By angered hands.

In these times,

They find

The need for sun,

Need for warmth

Need for color,

A dire wish.

II

A red rose

In a pot

Nature

Nurtured by nature

Childlike wonder

Stares through pedals

Up, up, up

Seen from below,

Red against gray

Earthly love,

Against pale gray

God anger.

III

A yellow butterfly: Wings flutter

With wind

Pushing, pushing.

Sending a life

Off course,

Or they think.

Watchers whisper,

Commenting beauty,

Brightness among

A storm cloud Sky.

Beauty flying,

Soaring,

Off course,

Or they think?

Wind takes,

Wind gives—

Creates difference,

Cuts old Separating.

Beauty Is beauty

In yellow movements

Brightness against storm.

No matter the course.
