..........The Calm and the Storm...........

Roaring silence of sage wafted scenes
Anxious stillness grasps at all
Alpine firs, still with fright
Mountain slopes await their fate

Sunbeams crack through angry clouds
Picking spots to be fluoresced
Portents of chaotic scenes
Hinting what will be

The firs now sway from nature's breath
Helpless in her arms
Her passion rising with Her cries
Convulsive twists of ardent strength
Her rapture, no longer leashed

RD

.............One of Four....................

Dark clouds bleeding shards of white
Each one different, each alike
There is no sky, not in sight
One of four, with her own rights


Silent, bleached, crystalline flakes
Raindrops morph through flowing chutes
Their muffled words not meant to hear
Frozen, drifting, whispering
Falling to their journey's end


Covering all
Coveting all
Changing all
Reminding all
Altering all
Enveloping all
Her omnipotence dictates all

Nurturing streams and earthly needs
Silence as she tends her deeds
Awakening slaps of deadly cold
Stunning beauty to behold
Gripping life, embracing death
Natural selection on her breath

Seeking continuance, some succumb
Survival tenuous in life's best run
A reminder of how weak we are
A reminder of just who we are

Sunlight breaks, her time is gone
The perpetual continues on

>>>>>>>>>>>>The Path

Strange days of metamorphosis

Makeup a life as this

Twists, turns

Loves, burns

Sunlit walks, darkened alleys

Beckoning meadows, foreboding valleys

Behold the forest of rocky crags

Mind declination in a sea of rags

Rolling hills of converging roads

Confusion adding to the load

Happiness at feeling good

Wondering if you should

Cognizance of the worlds pain

Knowing that to survive is to gain

Alive

The short and rugged road

Wisdom paves to ease the load

Birth, evolution, adaptation, death

A world of numbered breaths

Look back before it goes

The seeds you've sown are in which rows?
