   TROPICAL STORM CLOUDS            (7-11-1999; Migrating over Galveston Island, Texas)

       
       
         
white clouds                  
looming                  
high above                  
all around                  
like mythological                  
god lands                  
gathered up                  
in cumulus                  
mountains                  
moving in                  
soon overtaking                  
every horizon                  
in towering                  
legions                  
of ever morphing                  
exotic                  
ancient cities                  
long lost                  
time forgotten                  
fabled realms                  
of shangrilas                  
now marching                  
forth again                  
in stormy monolithic                  
crusade                  
overwhelming                  
blue sky dominance                
increasingly unfolding      
tumbling and rolling    
sky high up               
above our heads                  
snowy himalayas                  
billowing up                  
in heaps                  
of bulbous  roiling                  
mass muscled crawls                  
gradually blocking                  
sun from sight                  
in epic                  
tidal waves                  
now tumbling down
so ominously
here upon us
so frighteningly  
humbling us all  
way down here                  
so very far below                  
as distant                  
dark rains begin to fall                  
wild thunder comes                  
stampeding in                  
rumbling power                  
erupting up                  
from southern                  
gulf of mexico                  
in wild herds                  
driven on                  
by whipcrack                  
lightning storms                  
soon trampling down                  
upon us all                  
sheltered in      
hiding out        
way down here below                  
we little ants  🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜              
so very small                  
trembling now                  
in either      
heightened wonderment                  
or existential      
primal fear                  
either way                  
we re humbled here                  
yet once again                  
safely held                  
by and upon                  
this our wondrous                  
living  conscious                  
sacred                  
mother earth s                
all loving                  
unconditional                  
ever present                  
all encompassing              
constant              
sweet                  
embrace
