The Waiting

F.G. Franklin

 

Still without birdsong

Silence like snow

Morning eerily quiet

Until the wind began to blow

 

Raindrops driving

Against windows like hail

Heaven is crying

Clouds in travail

 

Purple appendages

Hang threatening;

Cymbals and drums,

Electricity within

 

Bruised battered obscurity

Once wrapped in wool

Bandages of purity

Heavy hearted and full

 

Upwards, a lone vulture

Circles the hidden sun

Harbinger and omen

Of the storm to come
