A ferocious sky rattles overhead,
Gathering a vault in electric red
As lightning of fire grills my night, aloud
Like a mad howl piercing edges of cloud.
Rapid the hours’ flush deepening a smear
When sudden gusts of blatant winds appear,
To assail road gridlock with their harsh course
A power so defined without remorse.
Moments pass while the downdraft twirls around
In vicious frenzy of its breaking ground;
That currents rise against a murky dye
And treetops bow in need of dire reply.
Until slowly, wind and sky alter trails
Enlivening boughs as clear coast prevails…
From the highway, I find guideposts of peace,
Calm at last from my inner angst’s release.

~ Just after a storm last week, we experienced another 3 days
of thunderstorm , strong winds , and cloudy skies over Manila
and regions . This Monday, classes were suspended due
to heightened winds and unbearable traffic jams as the weather
lightened early evening.
