the bellowing wind
whipping up a storm outside
while we sit snugly
The Void sits by the saucer
another excuse for milk

Promise
The thunderous rain
a promise made between two
The cat meows, “No!”
Heavy rain becomes a storm
a promise broken again
Stormy Ship
Clouds are gathering
the captain waits for no one
giant angry waves
the crew prepare for the worst
waltz of the sea and the ship
Outback Storm
red dirt on the shed
scorching heat turns to thunder
a heavy rain rinse
After the Storm
Rain and hail batter the roof,
wild winds whip the valley to and fro
as thunderous heavens release.
Grey skies dry their sorrowful eyes,
clouds feel empty and light,
and the sun peeks out to shine bright,
releasing sunshine after the storm.
Haiku: A Long Night
A long storm rages
the sea whips about wildly
a long night ahead
Lighthouse, Wickie, Sailor, & Sea
Towering, wise and stoic, The Lighthouse remains whole
Standing, waiting, watching, keeping sailor and sea secrets
Towering, remaining whole, until its’ light touches the sea
Standing, wary, unwaveringly calm, watching the ships
The sea, wise and cunning, knows the ways of sailors
Pillaging, profiting, putrefying, destroying the soul of the sea
The sea, calm, experienced, wait until storms begin
Pillaging, foolish, unwise sailors ignore the weight of the wind
The Lighthouse, alive and well, begins to shine a light on the sea
A Wickie, solitary, brave, sturdy and comfortably alone
The Lighthouse, guide and independent, saves the ship from harm
A Wickie, thankful, shy, talks to The Lighthouse, a friend
Sailors, changed and silent, know the power of the sea
A ship trusted, tailored, obeys the sailors for fear of the rocks
Sailors, grateful and smiling, thank Wickie and Lighthouse
A ship so tired and tall sails into the storm and onto the cold shore
Towering and standing wisely on the cliff, The Lighthouse
Sailors thank the Lighthouse and respect the old sea
The Wickie knows The Lighthouse and The Sailor’s Heart
The ship feels forgotten until the sea splashes her
