eye of the storm

rainbow in Palm Springs

stolen from The Guardian

and a few lines from Julie Williams’ Coming Up Into the Light

You can only hunker down so long & then the wind dies

or rushes on to some other place to do its damage…

Or, you can think out of the box.

    Glad you like it. To me, it’s a comment on living in harmony with nature and learning to deal with dark things in a positive manner.

    Ok read the links, still think the windfarm looks like shit.

    I don’t live in London or Oklahoma and tornados aren’t a big deal where I am so my tornado knowledge mostly comes from Dorothy and Toto. Nice poem though.
