Brewing Storm
The brewing storm stirs up
chasing men on foot
chasing chariots with wheels
i sit and stare
in compelling wonder
does the wind chase?
why run for the brewing storm
i watched,
even the trees bow in acknowledgement
i watched as the sky carefully dressed itself in black
the strength to ask why is what i lack
i listened to its fierce whispers
the sky is about to cry, it says
my body shivers
as its coldness swims down my spine
and all i could do was gulp in
the scents of unfallen rain
...close my eyes
and enjoy whatever blessings
it has to shower...
