Water.

An ebbing of tides

flowing to insatiable vastness,

the ever taunting malcontent

of a wearisome soul.

Lulled by nature’s melodies

lost by its faint eternal glow,

a sacredness of peace

I glean.

Storm.

 

A yearning
as sirens of
autumn’s breath
whisper words
of anticipation.
A rhythmic contralto
an echo to the soul
a welcomed unrest
as the valley chants 
its familiar tune.

Mesmerized
is she as gleams
of heaven incensed
unveil a sight divine.
A prelude
as skies yield to
nature’s command–
a foretaste of the
promised cleansing
of her deliverance.
