Into the Storm
Home again at last
Summer heat cloying
Sun going down finally
Cool water shimmers
Storm clouds build and a breeze picks up
Open a bottle of wine
Light a candle to keep the bugs away
Strip down to shorts and tank top
Shadows fall as birds give a last call
The glass sweats as ice melts against red wine
Leaving a puddle on the table cloth
Its time to cool down and unwind
Lazy smoke from a lit cigarette rises
The sound of the waterfall is peaceful
A splattering of rain clatters on the awning
The evening storm is coming
Cooling the heated air
Dreaming of what the future holds
Deciding which route to take
Where to go from here
Push out of the comfort zone
Move forward into the storm
