an elephant summer night
the thunder roars
the lightening sneaks
quick peeks
through the darkness…
staccato cosmic tears
gently fall
in a beautiful rhythmic
splashing…
the piercing pain pinging
the spirit
takes its leave…slowly
fading away…
swollen aged feet
reflect Hannibal-like
courage
ready for heated sunshine
challenges tomorrow
will bring
to a primed soul
still sojourning struggle…
silence slowly settles:
in the distant
cosmos of the night…
fading thunder
rumbles and echo…
the cool moist feeling
of the wet night
soothes the old soul
with walking
elephant-like calmness…
oh fall will be coming
and all we soon become
as the fading color leaves
save nature's ivory-like ones...
