The Coming Storm


A blind fury builds
in my belly of cloud,
winding up like a spring
over an angry ocean.
Soon I will let go. 

I care nothing 
for your prayers
and follow only the dark
formula of chaos.
A butterfly bore me.

For the moment
sit in your comfortable chair
near the window,
listen to a gentle breeze
rustle the leaves.

Take in the beauty 
of the morning sky
colored red
by a rising sun.
I come.
