blather
red_moonrise
lostgirl chilly wind punctuates the setting sun
while clouds fast moving
in their rain saturated darkness
decorate a charcoal sky
is that music i hear?

listen
my heart is not broken
my world is cracked
but i am not empty

i love you


lightning flashes in the distance
thunder rumbling, grumbling
disgruntled somewhat
mimicry of mother nature's argument
with reality

ocean churns impatiently
as whitecaps pound the cooling sand
under the feet
of unlikely storm-brave spectators

there are more
not just me

the air crackles
with strange anticipation
a prelude to the almost full red_moon
on its magical journey
from the belly of the ocean
into center stage

i worship this painting
this photograph
this memory seared in the bank


and i breathe life
