white, cold underbelly
rimmed in slate gray,
storm on a horizon
wide and flat
mountainous and misty
rolling green hills
anyone’s terrain
thunder clouds
come quickly
prairie thunder storms
flash brilliantly
hover darkly
slant rain harshly in
waves of awesome anger, then
slip 'round and over the horizon.
debris of the storm
wet and sodden
dries in warm sunshine
left to be picked up
rearranged
mended
put back in place or
discarded
while the rest of life continues
wrapping around and through,
expectations of others
weigh heavily.
"A man who cannot get angry is like a stream
that cannot overflow, that is always turbid.
Sometimes indignation is as a thunderstorm
in summer, clearing and cooling the air."
~ Henry Ward Beecher, Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
