Thunderhead

Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)

i feel a steady breeze

Quiet droplets

Falling rain
 Like kisses fly

Streams of
manna from the skies

As sudden darkness

shrouds

Racing walls
of clouds

Signal
a gathering storm

Lightning dancing

across empty
space and time

Dropping intermittent
flash bombs

Which suddenly arrive

Exploding in refrain
With thunderous replies

Shattering silence
With just enough distraction

To conceal
The teardrops

Forming
In my eyes
