Storm

Storm


          in the noctilucent ether
          above our spinning fire
          the mist born drift of open air
          weaves a crystal net
          ice and vapor reaching
          down towards us
          as we on this cluttered hill
          dig and dig
          our stony halos heavy with desire

          nimbus pages fold across
          the cyan wishing void
          our changing history written
          in volcanic ash
          the fire legend of a future
          come to pass
          each bright atom a chorus of hope and fear

          then the cumulous surrender 
          thunderous reply
          and we're washed in pure simplicity
          Goddess of Wisdom
          wrap us in
          your perfect stratospheric shroud
