Before the Storm
A stillness
Belies the gentle breeze
A silence
Escorts a rustle in the trees
A coolness
Soothes the sweat on my flesh
A calm
Precedes the pending storm
Clouds become scattered
As into a gleeful slumber
The radiance of day wavers
To find comfort in the dusk
Waves gently slosh onto shore
Feet imprint where I pondered
Dorian follows its own course
