Muted …
Bowling ball
On wooden alley
Rumble of far off
Thunder as it heralds
The approach of yet
Another storm,

Greets my ears in
Darkness
pierced only
By the dim flashbulb
Strikes
of lightening
Hidden behind distant
Clouds.

Stumbling through
This unlit mo(u)rning
Of faith
the indecisive
Winds lack both
Direction and speed.

Great analogy:

Muted …
Bowling ball
On wooden alley

I wouldn't mind a good storm over here...  they're a lot of fun when you're inside, warm and snuggling with a loved one...

It’s all a matter of spins,
Spinning as it crosses to pins,
A bang then a roaring,
Anticipated scoring,
Then wiped, re-begin

Seems when I cast
The first is the same as the last,
Too much or little spin,
Taking out just the 7 or 10,
But the games go very fast.

no scalars for you
mo(u)rning takes the breath away
life goes on in spite
