Weather


I look at the deep waters

And heard the roaring seas.

Tides arrive to shore

Grey skies vanished daylight

Into darkness all around.

But the gust blew my flame.

I heard small taps:

Drip drop

Drip drop

Coming from the sky.

I noticed a humid scent,

From the Evergreen trees

And the call from soaring seagulls—

Its only a small reminder

Of the coast of the Pacific Northwest.
