Storm warning blared
from her lips
as lightning flashed
in her eyes
heeding the call
he drove into her center

Center line blurs
as tears drive her
into oncoming disaster
off the rails
she plunges
down the mountain of dispair

mountains will move themselves:
give valley to tears, offer summits
a view from the clouds
for a change of perspective

Perspective is hard to come by
standing on the ledge
wanting to fly
we lean
only to kiss the ground

kiss the ground  
like pope John Paul
praise the baby Jesus!
for flying down from heaven's
to be born here

Here I stand
defiant of the storm
beating down
I'll not fall
for or to anything
but my own hubris

stand down
or fall free
there's no storm
which lasts forever
and what's left in wake
is drenched
with life

Life, once given
cannot be ordered to suit
but must be taken as it comes
like it or lump it

lumps and mounds
once found are assets
to quality of life

map me the way
so I may qualify
myself again

Again I find you
crouched on the ground
blowing at sparks
when the real fire
is here inside of me

fire inside
fueled and bellowed :
make way
for the firefighter
to tackle the fierce heat
with a hose and hammer

Hammer blows ring out
laying tracks to your distant heart
train whistle sounds
end of the line
switching tracks
gone

gone once
planned rendezvous
sat on train
and pondered outcum
never noticed the reason
other passengers
stared
and blushed aloud

Aloud, her words sounded harsh
she dismissed it as trade
for speaking so little
and having no time for fools

fool's time stands still
the wise seek ways
to make it fly
and the wiser fly with it
and smile
