Best Storm Clouds Gathering Poems

Blossom floats down from cherry trees 
pink confetti drifts on the breeze 
it’s windblown

Storm clouds gathering all around 
blustery gales turn the sails round 
of windmills 

Riding the surf board standing tall 
crest a wave trying not to fall
windsurfers

I watch the storm clouds gathering,
I hear the siren scream,
Is this really happening,
Or is it just a dream?

Hurry, run for shelter,
But which way will it go?
My heart is beating wildly,
Now the wind begins to blow.

The sun above me glistens,
This can't be what it seems,
How can...

They say when it rains it pours,
and I say:     Does it ever!
For I remember such a time as that.
It was a time when each day when I woke,
             ...

The art gallery was deserted as I wandered the rooms,
Contemplating quietly alone and peacefulness was mine;
Stopping at a painting of a lone woman, I gazed at her face,
Eyes that looked sad, much like mine and as I looked, I wished.

She looked so heavenly but...

How will I decide my own fate?
Or has it been decided for me?
Will my skies be clear or blue?
Or will the days ahead be stormy?

I am now standing at the crossroads
Not knowing which way to go
Which path will lead me to where I'm headed
Which path,...

STORM    CLOUDS  
    

Storm clouds gathering again from the Pacific
Over this  graveyard and its winged totems,
Cedar stories rich in legends, these items 
---  Of far-off people, Shamans, and soaring spirits prolific.

---  Of the sea Indians...

The day so calm and quiet, not a stirring of the leaves.
The awesome look of the sky has caused me to believe.
Something weird is happening, deep in the air does lie.
Then i hear them say aloud, Ring out wild bells to the wild sky.

I hear...

My Lords and Ladies, hearken close, 
the ancient tale of Alahsar  now begins,
handed down are words of glory handed,
we go to the mighty city of Alahsar.
Let the sands of time dissipate,
in your mind's eye, Alahsar shining,
charge the horns lass,
the song then shall sing in...

Do you ever feel like –
You are being driven onto jagged rocks
By an unforgiving tide,
Searching for a refuge,
Searching for somewhere safe to hide?

Feel the world is spinning much too fast
And you are barely hanging on,
Like a vinyl record spinning out of control
And you don’t like...

Storm clouds gathering
Gusting wind on the prairie
Mother Earth awaits the touch
Unbearable heat
Rejuvenating down pour
Blending earth, wind, fire and rain!

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

 
There is excitement in the air!
There is a disturbance in the airwaves!
The dogs are restless.
The birds have disappeared
The air is still, like its waiting!
We are in for a storm of note!

The pressure cooker is building.
The clouds are swirling.
The Holy Spirit is...

Sitting here playing these empty notes

Strumming out a sad melody as the time passes by

The loneliness is building by the minute, by the hour

Waiting for the time when she’s back by my side


Sitting here playing these empty notes

Storm clouds gathering right outside the window

Filled with...

Let out from the cage I was in
Climbed up from the slope that Id slid
Freed from the hole that Id dug since a kid
And the shame of all the things that I did
No longer punched 
No longer kicked
No longer searched 
No longer stripped
No more waking...

Where to now, uncharted waters,
Two men vying, two men scheming,
Biden gloating, Trump now reeling,
Storm clouds gathering, eyes aloft.

So much anger, consternation,
A million words spewed every day,
Talking heads intent to sway,
Incessant noise drowning our senses.

Gone all reason, truth abated,
Daggers drawn, no time to ponder,
Where is grace,...
