Honing the Craft

Week 36 Brady's Touch

And it Keeps On Coming

Heavy with tears the nebulous glow
hovers above my sanctuary
soon to dump tremulous buckets
upon already sodden earth
Cloudburst.

Nearby river rises with the flow
attempts to escape to the sea
blocked by incoming ocean tide
flooding the land waiting rebirth
Cloudburst.
