life reconvened
lighting up the virtues
of darkness
I look much too fast
yet bask in the glow
of such moments
another storm
awaits my view
another chance........
perhaps
such destruction
propels me to move on
the clouds hold their breeze
allowing me
this time
to precede their
torrential wrath
I am grateful of
their balmy patience...........
