Hurricane Watch

I love waiting for the hurricane.
The earth rises to meet the rain.
Can you smell the longing
in the freshness, sweet?

We are all fermenting.
A dog rubs his nose in the leaves
with delight.
But I approach the soil
with great tenderness
and gratitude for its devoted
service – waiting.

The hurricane is coming!
Threat? Anticipation?
Clouds scuttle about their dirty business,
A screech in the sky,
We are all migrating.
Cruelty and goodness blend in such atmosphere.
Small surprises of kindness
within large explosions of sorrow.

Still, the earth rises,
Squirrels dance to the highest treetops.
We are all ascending,
Heaven is searching for us.
Reach up your arms!
