the sky tonight is an ugly sky, churning dark and dank charcoal bruises against deep purple-- no glimmer revealed to mascara's futile searching upward..ever upward; thunder hurls, not a roar, but mocking fragments of a shrill voice-- and through the rain, I hear nails on a chalkboard tonight, I cannot feel the storm, the intensity, I cannot breathe its life; tonight, I am an observer sitting cross-legged in a weather pattern-- wondering if I could be the lightening, or wind, or rain-- or, if I am simply a charcoal bruise against an endless deep purple sky "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |

Tis awful to be off balance. Disconcerting to be without assurance. Desolation holds all the letters necessary to spell alone. We've all been there. Hope for the best, you never know. |

This reminds me of the uneasy feeling I get when I can see it coming, and it scares me! You write a good storm Sandpiper~ |
