THE TRIUMPHANT MARCH


It's past nine. 
And I'll have 
the boiling seas with thunderclouds 
for dinner. 
A few streaks of lightning on the side. 
A glass of tornado juice to wash it all down 
till all that's left of the storm 
is the stillness of its eye. 

By the time the horizons 
begin to blush pink 
The grey clouds will have turned 
to white balls of fluff 
their edges painted in amber glow 
And the stillness would have turned 
to a gently flowing breeze 
The moon would be poised 
longingly 
on the edge of the sky 
Reluctant to let the night go 

It is the blessed dawn 
of another day 
Spreading its magic wings 
Trying to wipe 
the stormful memories 
and soar 
Life lives its rainbow dreams 
Swinging between starlight 
and clear blue skies 
Wiping the scars of the tempest 
Watching the sunshine 
sing its delightful songs 
And fresh white blossoms 
nodding their fragrance 
onto the soul 

Morning. 
Its past nine again. 
And the world has overturned 
its fortunes, 
breathing 
in the winds of change.
