last night, while basking in the blue light of my computer
feeling warm and cozy in a quiet darkened room,
a sudden strong gale slammed into and swept o'er my house
which sits on a slab, in a quaint neighborhood of similar structures near the Chesapeake Bay
I heard and felt the thrill of this mighty wind surge moaning, whining down the fireplace shute, pounding walls and roof

Drawn to the door in excitement,
I felt compelled to walk out into this abrupt windstorm
and upon entering the outer side
was nearly knocked off my feet
and recovering, heard the mounting approach
of yet another affront to my balance
the night air was chilly
The previously gray sky was now cluttered with
FAST moving eerily orange illuminated clouds of various shapes and sizes, edges defined against the blackish blue clearness of an otherwise moonlit night...clouds blowing out to sea.
