noon day sun struggles
to fuse through stark autumn gray
a stillness clings fast –
massing onto bare branches
the silhouettes of black birds

charcoal sky gets light
an eerie quiet takes hold –
eye of summer storm
eye of summer storm
pine and hibiscus stand still
in recovery mode
in recovery mode
after being flung here and there –
hurricane force winds
hurricane force winds
storm now more wild winds than rain-
skies once again gray

No sun, no shine. A gray day today.

driveways are full
the streets are empty
days of never ending sundays –
a siren’s wail pokes the eerie quiet
crows gathering

fierce winds – mid winter
storm clouds rule the morning light,
until the snow falls

What the hell
are you doing out in this winter rain
Sitting on that fine branch
Swaying in the breeze –
Ah, morning prayers
