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...
