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
