Lots of creative pursuits in 2019 and more in 2024 and beyond. |
A breeze stirs the stalks and sends the cheery faced sunflowers swaying, The sun slips down into the horizon Its blaze a glorious red And I hear my grandmother murmur Red sky at night sailor's delight An old wives tale Maybe, but the clouds hover Purple tinged with apprehension and trepidation Storm coming. The breeze stills, The world hangs Suspended As it waits for the gathering of the clouds The rumbling of thunder and flashes of brilliant light Wind swirls The flowers bend Preparing for the rain The heavenly rain Which cleanses and pushes down the dust The flowers surrender Heads bowed in a prayer of thanksgiving As quickly as it came, The thunder rolls away The lightening moves off into the night sky And the rain gentles Providing refreshment and quenching thirst In time it too will pass And the stars will find their way As the clouds move off Silence is met with a gentle breeze as the world sleeps on Tomorrow will be a feast of glorious colour The world refreshed after the storm.
