Storm in the Wilderness
A rough torrent of water cascades down the rocky cliff
crashing down out of sight
behind wind whipped trees and red brown rock
dead branches snap and fall
but do they make a sound
leaves and needles tremble beneath the onslaught
battered but proud
Above the sun burns
at the ever encroaching clouds
angry purple
thundering their rage
crying their sorrow
as they tear at the land
the sun retreating to the corner
battle lost
to weather the gales
again to shine upon the life
left after
resilient
