A Storm Is Brewing

As a cold night slips away
And the new day begins,
Gray clouds move in
With a stillness in the air
 -  A storm is brewing -
It can be felt in each breath
With more snow on the way
It is what they mean…
By the calm before the storm
All is quiet, nature waits
Maybe, this is how the birds know?

Chris Green Date: 11/15/2018 8:41:00 AM I saw that storm heading your way on the news this morning. But I should have just waited for your beautiful poem to let me know. I think the birds probably waited for your poem, that's how they know. : ) Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 11/15/2018 8:47:00 AM Thank you Chris.
