Storm

Night closes in,
   the sky blushes in pinks and yellows
as a storm rises in the south
   making its way north by north east.
Hurricane to tropic storm back to hurricane
   racing headlong from ocean to land
flooding rains, churning surfs, wild winds shout loud
   screaming through the trees.
September begins in turmoil
   skipping humid air into cool escapades
of mother nature's displays
   from nurtured caresses to disciplinary lessons.
Breathe
   the sailors' sky gives warning
of the ensuing storm to come.
