Notes About The Poem

            

A Storm Is Brewing

Night Sky Shivers In the Distance A storm is brewing, excitement coursing through Who would think calm blue water storm would brew Calm silence lull before the storm graphite sky Far away dark haunting canvas slowly creeps by Sweeping in a heart of darkness, ripping lightning forking silently then roaring boom without warning Wind revolves in the sky and sings as Mother Nature’s rave breath of howling wind blows, churning swells of waves Torrent rain cascades down as nature proudly braves whipping insane waves as it tries to make its grave Cocooned safely in its chalky painted heavy brick walls waiting to flood through any crack no matter how small Sentinel‘s ascending numerous spiral steps, veers beacon casting its beam of light an aid to seafarers 4/18/2016
