The Violent Storm by the Water (Do You Trust Your Imagination)

The Violent Storm by the Water

(Do You Trust Your Imagination)

was not unexpected

but its fury was without compare,

poet awake in semi-preparation

 

living by water should be a human right for all,

even a small room, overlooking, gives new meaning to

perspective

 

we blessed with a patio door, encased in a glass window big enough for a smallish elephant to come visit and play with children

 

a storm is observed up close and personal as if one was in

an IMAX 3D  theater, and the edges of existence were being redefined,

sharpened by fury, tooled by tools untouched by mortal hands

 

miles of bay illuminated with bass drum furious accompaniment

 

stand before the screen,

poets arms outstretched as a supplicant,

the light of the lightening passes through him,

yet , behind me, she still sleeps

 

then the entire house shakes, reverberates, as if to say:

 

 

”tremble humans, cower, you are not permitted to watch my majesty, for such it was when created heaven and earth”

 

bold poet window worshipping

risky answers:

 

“but who will know

if even a poet cannot declaim sights

no one else has seen?”

 

”true, true, but you must choose if poet truly,

do you trust your imagination human,

to prove that the powers of the heavens are limitless?”

 

write of storms unseen and nature endless miracles

 

***”then you may call yourself

a miracle too,

a poet***”
