Weather Forecast

The New Year has come wafting on the wings of winter The high latitudinal areas of the northern hemisphere Would be in the grip of frequent snowstorms severe Throwing life in desolate isolation and out of gear. The cold wave sub-zero conditions of deprivation would persist In many sections of population for in poverty they can’t subsist Who wouldn’t see for long the sun of subservient survival Through the dense fog of abject abandon and rueful refusal. The frosty winter nights would fall with wrath Making many frigid who would seek introvert warmth. After the winter haze clears the weather would change The spring would develop many high pressure regions In the lives’ atmosphere of the aspirant people Living in the spreading mist of uncertain future climate With the hope of clear blue sky and sunny temperate days. They have to brace for the increasing ambient temperature In the thermal islands in the wake of global warming true or not. The fanatic heat waves in the summer of discontent Could blow dust of hatred in the raging desert storm Might sweep like nimbus cloud across the tormented humanity. The overcast monsoon sky may fall asunder After unpredictable cloud burst one after another On gloomy minds plunged in the trough of depression. They would sink in the flood brought by heavy rains In low pressure areas where mental stress would deepen despair. Hurricanes and tropical storms would spin on trade winds Wreck havoc bringing misery to many For they would make landfall on the helpless people of destiny. The cirrus clouds would slowly clear The low atmospheric disturbances would subside As the autumn would arrive sailing on the northern wind With nip in the air and prospect of bright sunny days. The occasional gusty winds of the fall Would blow the broken brown leaves away The way welted thoughts of the mind Get swept by the squalls of fast moving times. The old year would take our agony and dreams Across the winter to the cold folds of another New Year And we would wait for yet another spring another time When our lives would bloom like flowers. January 7, 2018.

Thank you so much, Connie. Yes, something like climate change is happening in our world and the future is uncertain and unpredictable as the weather.
