Asleep, laughter sub-sides br Awaiting rains br Now water continence’s face br And winds begin br Their scheduled fly-in br A storm release-d br From thunder’s br Ugly spitting br Each bit of anger br Speeding away br On zigged spears of love br Striking at its very breath br Deep within its place of hiding br Another new sky smiles br Arising again, br To dance br All day br In pearl-ie br Dress whites br Billowing spirits br Of goodness’s battles br br (Mountaintop Cottage, Tennessee br ~September 7,2006)br br Debora Shortbr br
