Unpublished Poetry Series: The Thunder-Spirit

 

The Thunder-Spirit

Night time--the orange
Clouds withhold oncoming rain;
Afar the thunder
Lingers to oblivion:
Restless are the ways
That fulfill unspoken dreams
Their lives amongst us,
As time that summons passing
As a startled bird
To wake us in the moonlight
Of a winter sleep.
