Kismet

The wind arrives 
with sleeves rolled up. 
All day it stirs 
the cauldron of the sky. 
 
As thunder boils, 
the clouds explode. 
Each raindrop falls 
to its appointed place.

Sorry about the typo it is meant to be 'captures'. My sight is not great just now.

Thanks for your comment. Sorry to hear about your sight problems. I see that Dr Mercola has an article on eye health today. It's at https://goo.gl/cjEADu

We have many storms here of late, tornado watches too. It is the unusual becoming usual due to weather changes Your poem matures that intense feeling I get as a storm builds. Excitement and fear equal portions.

Hi Alan. I like this a lot - very straightforward, and with a satisfying sense of completeness.

Hi Doug. Thanks. I think "Kismet", which is a Turkish corruption of the Arabic "Qisma", must be related to the Sanskrit "Karma".
