Along with the thunder
As the smiles in the cloud brighten,
a cloudburst of joy
sends gentle kisses on our rooftops,
pouring down clouded tears—
bottled-up emotions
to quench the thirsts of
humans, plants, animals... and phantoms.
The trees—
with feet rooted deep in earth—
stood humble as a worm.
The birds~

SAVE THE MORIBUND LUNGS OF THE EARTH
Biosphere's tropical respiratory rainforests are on the verge of extinction,
the exclusive reservoir of biodiversity, the Congo Basin is shrinking rapidly.
Deforestation dehydrates the caliginous evergreen region,
scorching heat changed the water cycle irreversibly.
Locking in scanty rainfall and a prolonged arid season,
tall towering canopies fell down~ecosystem lost balance entirely.
Greenhouse emissions omitted approx. 288–247 gigatones of carbon absorption,
erosion erased

The Better Choice
Lashed by rain
I sheltered
beneath
its wind bent
height
in its hurl
of leaves
and whip slap
of bark
against
a huge trunk
below
its creak
and rising
roar
to a sudden
crack
in fear
the better
choice
would have been
to get wet.

Leaves of August
Leaves of August glisten from the rain
I notice a tinge of color across the ridge
The leaves need moisture to sustain
Leaves of August glisten from the rain
‘Til late mid-October they must remain
Over the ridge, understand, just a smidge
Leaves of August glisten from the rain
I notice a tinge of color across the ridge.

Miraculous Downpour
MIRACULOUS DOWNPOUR
Exuberant, miraculous downpour spreading its wings ,forming a canopy above
Seems benevolent Almighty showers hugs and cuddles
Breezy, green bushes head over heels in love
I immerse in healing bubbles and scurries off all troubles.

Winter Is Around
When the dancing dew on the leave fall on ground,
It seems like shouts are coming out of shroud,
And this reminds me that winter is around.
When the way have mist and nobody is found,
The fragile heart beats high, and feelings seems drowned,
And this reminds me that winter around.
When the leave vanish and rain seems hound,
And the

Colorful Tree Clouds
From tree clouds above, vivid colors are falling,
Mellow summer days have now, all gone by crawling!
The sun has disappeared, and left a strange storm,
As engrossing as honeybees, gathered into a swarm.
Colors in the trees, in the air and on the ground,
As if at any moment, in beauty we shall be drowned!
Vibrant beauty is goodbye, in
