Poem: Landscape Winds



Landscape Winds

The landscape is new, yet familiar,
rolling hills that are not quite mountains,
not quite flat, somewhere
in between, a land in transition,
unsure,

stuck in a place beautiful, yet
uncommitted, where
you sit on the back porch
watching the night lightning,
silent and dramatic,
threatening storms and blissful May rain.

all at a distance, their
threat and promise
unfulfilled,

a drama played out,
hoped for and feared
while you sit, untouched,
waiting for the wind to shift
to bring you....
anything.

The landscape is new, yet familiar.
