Sometimes
it's only the rain
that rattles the windows
and shuts out the pre-storm
silence...
Sometimes
it's only the wind
that blows the treetops
around with bitter fury
unleashed...
Sometimes
it's always the silence
that cries for nature's
interruptions and corruptions
eternal...
And sometimes
the sky is for an instant
golden while a night filled
with instant deafening
awareness...
