JULY POEM
Promises
Storm clouds
Like black sheep of heavenly domain
Billows of dark portent
Swept along by northeast winds
Hit great pockets of warmth
Clap loud Hoorays
in mid-air
Sends arrows of light flashing
Through torrents of angelic tears
Catching at streams of light
Spills prisms of color
One faint hue at a time
A magnificent arched palette
watercolor strokes across the sky
paints hope
on human lives
who have lost their way
