Weather!

Weather is a wonder, wherever you are!

It gives the observer a glimpse,

a glimpse of what a moment with Eternity is like:

Nothing; nothing in the face of the life all around.

Standing outside! Ecstatic!

Ecstasy coming in circles, reversals, impacts and spurts;

all out of any one’s control.

My Lord, we are talking a heavenly vision here,

an experience nigh unto the soul; 

a moment alone with the power of the Creator;

not yet by anyone from this angle told:

my own little divine experiment

to find heaven and hell so bold,

so as to touch my life so closely,

in this weather wonder to behold.

Oh, keep the music coming,

the rhythm and the rhyme;

the syncopated bellissima

between the silence that is mine.

The past that somehow binds the moments,

The present which I forever find,

The passing phen.om.en.o.logical,

Around which we all are entwined.

Don’t you just hate it when you can’t find your solitude?

When drastic measures are needed to be raised;

When you find yourself trapped in some perfunctory ritual;

Or running for shelter in a purple haze.

My Lord, where are those times of childhood freedom?

My G-od, where are those happy days?

When everyone knew what was important to the other person

And did not care because they knew everyone plays.

Now the play-ers are separated from the pray-ers

And the left is not part of the right;

And the colors are not satisfied being wonderfully radiant

Because they simply are not black or white.

Yes, we only find ourselves alone now

In the heat of the battle

As we raise our backs and 

As we bicker and fight.

          IF

          Solitude

          Becomes

          YOU,

          In time;

          Then, you must cling

          To that time

          ALONE,

          While reaching

          OUTSIDE of time

          To the uncertainty of

          OTHER

          In prayer.
