Sky Mad

the chimes
played the wind
something stirring
in the air
a moist
kind of confusion
wind disturbing dust
in thought
uneasy spaced turmoil
flying above
suddenly quiet
no sound at all
as constant temperature
looses its center
dropping fast
selfishly pushing
self-absorbed clouds
to squeeze tighter
causing commotion
signaling attacking
penetrating thunder
hungry excited electricity
flashes out of darkness
making rage known
silver bitterness
dangling heavy
without releasing
any accomplishments
but soon
the force of anger
finds its way
into water
sailing upon
the wind in violence
sky mad
pouring force of wrath
uncontrollable downpour
assaulting without
conscience or consequence
dangerously furious
yet unprovoked
blinded
to it’s destruction
