The Tempest

The evening floats in on the down of a dove wing

Fledgling birds are huddled  all cozy in their nest,

while the blizzard- like storm crept in unnoticed

Shielded in a makeshift bunker,  I marvel at  how brief,

yet so powerful the storm played out

My heart skips a beat with every thunder trumpet

My hands fall from my ears as I search the

magnificent sky for signs of turquoise

Here in the quiet aftermath I listen for the

last wind of the day to soften.
