Dark Clouds Are Gathering
"Within the fog the distant mountains strain
bruised in shades of lavender and forest green
each angle decomposing in the rain"
I wander across rugged steep terrain
pausing to see the ever changing scene
within the fog the distant mountains strain
Heavy storm clouds drift high across the plain
soon grass glistens with a silvery sheen
each angle decomposing in the rain
I’m cold and damp but I cannot complain
on brighter days a fine vista is seen,
within the fog the distant mountains strain
I hope these stunning landscapes will remain
though poor weather isn’t always foreseen
each angle decomposing in the rain
In time I will see bright blue skies again
of azure blue or pale aquamarine
Within the fog the distant mountains strain
each angle, decomposing in the rain
