Monster snowstorm Meteorologist have warned But when you have faith you don’t be alarmed Yet this snowstorm is going to be for the record books All a person has to do is just look Like a typewriter keyboard going up the ladder But in this case it is the Northeast with the matter If the snowstorm piles up as much as Meteorologist predict, the snow will be around long and will certainly be icy and thick Transportation will definitely shutdown There will be no way too get around Everyone will be stationery in homeward bound It will television and cell phones with snowstorm updates Then a mission to work or wait There is no guarantee It is a matter of wait and see The snowstorm provided by thee Man can’t defeat and tell the snow too stop It’s all controlled from the almighty being at the top The Sanitation Department will be doing their job in clearing the snow away However it won’t be gone all in one day This could be a snowstorm bringing snow that could last for days Don’t even think on taking a plane being a getaway It will be the wintry frozen ice that will stay The best advice that I could give is to think of the season spring Mild with warm hearts in getting through the snow in helping you preserver Don’t think on fear As God is always near A snowstorm is God’s way in purifying the earth I remember being taught that at birth But think on doing things at home being fun Always remember, weather conditions you have no control and God will always be the centered number of one.

rather than check the forecast for some reason i think it enough to merely look to the sky for a cursory ten or so seconds to observe the drifting of weighty clouds the overwhelming of any strokes of blue that might remain being diminished by the shifting greys of approaching rain before surmising whether or not a coat or umbrella might be needed at some point in the coming hours

the meteorologist
Expect earthquakes, volcano eruptions and tornadoes. You don't have to be a meteorologist to know that the climate has already changed. The layers of the atmosphere are re-arranging. People still seem worried about property value and other things that will seem like nothing to them soon. This isn't conspiracy theory ******** This is energy, and how it works. Electro-magnetic energy is king.

I met my neighbor today. Well, he's not my neighbor yet, but he will be when I'm forty-two and have that burgundy four-door. He'll have two kids by then, one from a previous marriage; loud mouth little ***** always reminding his step-mother that his real mom wouldn't stand for what she wants to call discipline. I should really remind his dad to return my rototiller when I see him next. - The meteorologist called for sleet and I still don't see any ****** sleet. I walked to the fuel station and got a fountain soda; I counted six stray cats on the way back. One of them used to belong to a woman by the name of Jamila who moved back to Atlanta in July of last summer. The cat never liked to come to her, so it stayed behind to chart star patterns. Sometimes, when no one is out on the street, the cats meet in alleyways to gossip about the state of affairs in the soy city. - I buried seven heads-up pennies underneath the yield sign on Union street last Wednesday, I believe it was. I'm still waiting on a reply, but Mr. Cuttlefish isn't known for his punctuality. No one is around here; it's bad for your health if everyone knows where and when you'll be. They say one of the neighbor kids found a piece of amber the size of a plum in a box of Rice Chex from the corner market. I knew someone would find it eventually. - Every umpteenth sidewalk slab has an "X" engraved in the top, right-hand corner. It signifies a meeting zone, and if you wait their long enough I can probably convince one of the silver men from the condemned apartment building to let me borrow their aural symphonizer so I can finally see what it's like to extract one while it is still alive and roily. It wont be too long of a wait, as the men are always brief with conversation and always seem to blink and breathe at the exact same time I do.

The weather man said that today's forecast is going to be cloudy and grey Never did he mention that you would be walking my way I wish I would have known because I'm not too presentable in this sweat suit It's raining plus it's a little warm so I began to sweat too When I saw you , I got nervous trying to think of the right words to say and never disrespect you "Would you like to share my umbrella it's the least I can do" My lips were shaking in fear of rejection but I knew my obsession of staying to myself will leave me and my cold pillow plenty of time to bond on nights like this The rain was pouring down She didn't have an umbrella and it looked as if I switched her entire day around Her smile cleared the skies but down went my eyes because I had no excuse to walk with her I was so nervous my hands began to tremble I was too afraid to talk with her She said that I was sweet but I got the wrong idea because I reached out for her hand , but in the same soft voice she used to call me sweet she explained to me about her man ... The weather man didn't warn me He could have told me about the flash floods that followed the clear sky I didn't see it coming I feel like a car just breezed by and splashed up a puddle all over me A shower can take the dirt off the surface and put a smile on my face the only problem is some of it got inside my skin and is irritating a problem that I've been trying to embrace I'm still alone

Meteorologist: Flash Flood
Meteorologist had been predicting that Hurricane Harvey would hit the landfall of Texas shore It’s a reality storm no one should ignore Mighty winds and heavy rain hitting the Texas land Warnings upon warnings being active in demand Some people decided to remain in their homes But during the storm no one will be able to roam Now Hurricane Harvey could last for days The two words of the day, “HOME STAY” Hurricane Harvey has winds of 130 miles per hour Now that is along of power Hurricane Harvey is a strong alert It offers no perk Homes are being destroyed The hurricane is treating homes and fixtures as if they were toys This storm is no joy How Great Thou Are comes to mind Rain, Wind and Tornados all combined A message to Texas and the world to kneel and pray This is Heaven ‘s communication being their relay My heart goes out to the citizens of Texas I pray and hope the people survive Trust in God and that is what will keep them alive God’s amaze in what he gives As Hurricane Harvey conquers on My advice to the Texas citizens is to remain strong Stick together in fellowship is what I am talking about Sooner or later Hurricane Harvey will move out.

meteorologist
I hope you won’t mind being an architect. I learned a long time ago that it will take more than just a little Krazy glue to put my pieces back together. I hope you won’t mind being a pilot. I was never very fond of heights but I have a talent for falling too fast and too hard. I hope you won’t mind being an astronomer. It will take someone with a lot of wonder to trace the constellations scattered across my body. Sorry in advance – I connected some of the dots already. I hope you won’t mind being a meteorologist. One who isn’t afraid to don a raincoat and boots and stand in the storm to say, “Expect some passing showers but watch for the sun and wait for the clouds to clear.” I hope you won’t mind being you. As long as you won’t mind me being me.

I hope you won't mind.
Days like this, clouds twist round languid trysts and linger through each billow - how a breath of smoke forms shadows or a swarm of midges gather - growing tangible as tuffets of pubescent body hair. If I had studied clouds and all their undercurrent slip streams, then my memories might emulate their dissipating shrouds.

Meteorologist
The exterior is thick with humidity, damp with rain, and I’ll never experience fever like this again. My body is being taken (through the wind of a thousand hurricanes) to a building with no climate; I will be my own meteorologist, forecasting eroded rocks and failures, and seldom I might discover a window to peer out of. Squinting, I could catch the stories – those of capability, disability, and susceptibility – my willowed reflection screams. And, though I will always have my wrinkled palms, they will never hold the weather.

I finished moving into my residential college as a storm began - fat raindrops, as big as coconuts, falling from a black and fouling sky. These northerners were acting like a "tropical storm" (Henri) was a big deal. “Surely New England gets storms?” I ask, from behind my mask. “What about NOR_Easters?” I say, like a meteorologist. “Those are different.” I’m told, with no other explanation. “Did you bring this storm from the “SOUTH?” I’m asked, accusingly. (This was after I told them about coming from one ”bulldog-college-town” to another.) “Yes.” I reply, “It was in my luggage.” A silly question but they have a point - the storm feels like it’s involved and fulfilling some obligation to dramatize my college move-in story. “Time to quarantine!” I’m informed - “Yep, can’t WAIT!” I lie. One disaster at a time.

stormy skies
I told my doctor how when I get really upset I see clouds. I told her that it looks like someone chain-smoked a whole pack of cigarettes in the time it took me to blink. She told me she can't explain it. She told me I need glasses. I told her I need new medication, that these ones aren't working anymore. She told me that I'm not letting them. She told me that depression comes in waves. And if I stop fighting them, they'll come and go with ease. She told me to build a raft. I told her I don't know how. I don't know how to tell her that I'm drowning. I don't know how to tell her that these "waves" have turned into rip tides and now I'm so far out that I'm lost at sea. Excuse me miss, but how do you build a raft when you're never on shore? She told me I need to start exercising; I guess water aerobics aren't enough. I told her that I can't breathe. She told me I might have asthma. I told her water must have filled my lungs. I told her that I used to identify as the calm before the storm. But now I'm a category 5 hurricane. I told her I've got winds up to 250 mph. But I still can't find air. And I'm sorry, Miss Meteorologist, but land won't slow me down. I told her that I have and will destroy everything in my path. She told me that now that I've hit land, I can pick up the debris and build a raft. I told her I'd try. She told me hello and asked how my raft is coming along. I told her that my craftsmanship is sub-par. I told her that the clouds were back. I told her that she's the reason I can't look at water without it running down my face.

I keep a cloth by the door to not let the cold breeze in, but I'm a tornado living on the floor, just waiting for the winds to begin. Causing chaos and destruction, wherever it is I choose to go, battling a volcanic eruption and tossing around the piles of snow. I'll tear apart your home and family, I'll toss around the life you live, I'll admit it was never my plan, you see but scorched earth is all I have to give. No weather man or meteorologist can give you warning about my arrival, with all I wreck I ask "what's the cost of this, when it's competing with my survival?" I was once only a rain cloud, then one day I became a storm, my transformation never made me proud, but my strength and power did keep it's form. I thrive off the ice cracking, under my heavy feet. I'm beyond hunting or tracking, I'm left here only to compete. Each breath you exhale with cold air is just my form of a sweet kiss. Everytime, no fail, I'll be there, I'll never be something you miss. I'll tear apart the world as you know it, I'll toss around the life you live, I swear I have a heart I just don't show it, 'cause scorched earth is all I have to give. When the winter winds grow cold, I might turn to ice, I haven't made up my mind. With a soul of mold and body of Christ, you'll see that you've turned snow blind. Silent nights and transparent stars, it's all backdrop to my catastrophe. When I whip on by I'll leave you with scars and claim it's just a sweet memory. I'll strip you down until the bone, I'll take away the life that you live, the trees and green grass is just a loan, as scorched earth is all I have to give.

Savage start Gave birth to a savage heart. Times of cold, Caused me to carry a heavier load. Times of abandonment, Made me question where love was from and if mercy would be sent. Teenager in the wilderness, I came of age with bitterness. Now an adult woman; I'm a dark merciless tornado and no meteorologist can report which way I'm coming.

storm rages without, woman rages within. no meteorologist, no man, could have seen it coming, blind to the greying clouds, senseless to the burning-wire scent of building fury. it seems all blue-sky beauty, a bearing akin to cumulous tufts of vapour. she is sunny and bright, until fluffy clouds are ripped open with shouting thunder and lightning strikes. then man-meteorologist is blind to the storm no more.

To the guy who always.... Is there. To the guy who's always supporting me, when i think I might fall. The guy who is kinder than words can say. The guy who makes me feel like I am the queen of a planet. To the guy who makes me feel like I can do anything. To the guy with the true laugh, The true smile. The guy who I know would, for me, go an extra mile. To the guy who holds me in his arms, When the tears of depression, anxiety and other things I can't control burst forth from behind the dam I tried to build. This is to the guy who tries so hard to make me happy, To the guy who DOES make me happy. That's the guy I want. That's the guy you are. I know I mess up. I know you mess up. But... Life is messy. I don't mind cleaning things up with you. Just so they can get messy again. Over And Over. Because whether life is clean, Or messy. If I'm with you I'd love it all. It's like weather. We can dance in the rain and snow, play in the mud, enjoy the sunshine, and hide together from the hail. The most important part is that even if we don't dance in the rain we can share the umbrella. I'm not a meteorologist I don't always know what the weather is gonna be like. But I promise you I'll be there in all weather patterns. So let's look to the sky. Make shapes out of the clouds. Like our future, so far away. But hey, We're just describing what we see. They're just clouds, Floating in the breeze. Distant possibilities. For you. And me.

To the Guy Who Always
A night where all creatures became confused It was humans thinking the world was their excused The moon seemed to turn beyond the norm It’s the earth giving the world a warn The bible of Revelations stated what was too come But was this the moment of gloom? Scientist couldn’t figure out Electronic equipment offered no theory in what the phenomenon was all about The people on earth panic and cries in shout Now even the Meteorologist couldn’t figure out However the moon seemed to smile It was all through during while A moment being sudden It was causing human mood swing making personalities toughen But wonders on everyone’s mind of when Was this God’s warning on the Earth’s End?

THE NIGHT THE MOON SPINNED
A passenger cruise ship that left from San Juan, Puerto Rico The ocean was calm and moving slow The voyage with stops in the Caribbean A journey to adventure Eternity with a venture Unknown to the passengers, there is danger in the air Yet the Captain is unaware, and continues to preserver Suddenly clear skies turned into a darkened shadow The seas immediately became shallow Blowing winds then followed Passengers were watching candidly in what Meteorologist let be known But what was next too be shown? Mother nature and the seas with the ship being the connection Immediately, the sea waves began to rise up The ship would be waterlogged full like a drinking coffee cup The waves were ever heading for the doomed ship The ship was pacing back and forth and from side to side in a dip The waves overpowered the entire ship Angry seas at the command being God’s tip Immediately the ship sank below There were no survives, but no one really knows Yet it was Davey Jones locker below The seas were in control being the show The ship nestled in a sea grave The darkened clouds have disappeared, and the seas are calm in behave Heavens watch and souls they crave.

DOOMED SHIP
Like the snowball first thrown in the bitter chilled winter days Is the same as my grandma opening her eyes for the first time and in her mother's arms she lays. Later as the years pass and love blossoms in her heart My grandmother's life with her own family is about to start Now she is like the first snowman built standing ready to guard her home To stay there to protect and never to roam But as time sweeps by so does her appearance she begins to melt The meteorologist say it won't snow anytime soon and day by day she will alter   They try to give her more pills to delay her death but they try to conceal it with their palter Soon my snowman will just be another puddle licked up the earth But I will always remember my snowman's worth

Why is it people will believe a Meteorologist? But when it comes to the Lord, it’s having no Faith at all Why is it the Heavenly Father who controls, people turn away? The Heavenly one is the one who can destroy and move elements being Almighty This is reality Why is it people will read a novel book or computer news from beginning to end, but won’t pick up a Bible and read a scripture waiting on when? The Bible has stories that actually happened or is prophesized to happen But people just don’t believe Yet the Lord is the one that gives relief He also offers strength during grief So why is the separation in who believes Man functions on possibilities and assumptions The Lord being Almighty in definite Assurance you can trust These are all added pluses People tend to think they are their own victorious But the Lord is involved and it is he who does the problems in resolve So many more questions after questions The question is, have you truly found the definite answer? The answer is the environment was created not by man, but a more superior being Man can think, but wisdom comes from understanding through the Superior Man can’t construct nor destroy Man is the decoy, but the powerful one instills the joy.
