There is a Storm Coming

There is a storm coming

I can smell it in the air

You laugh dismissively

Look up at clear blue skies.

But I shake my head, I know

There is a storm coming.

I cannot explain why

I connect to the earth

When you do not, or

Should that be will not?

You will not lie in the grass

And listen the her call.

Nor watch the clouds

Metamorphosis as they

Pass by over our heads.

You look but do not see

You hear but do not listen.

You take all she offers

But never pause to give thanks.

There is a storm coming

Nature’s hissy fit.

Her way of reminding us

Just who’s this planet is.

With thunderous voice

She shouts but falls on deaf ears.

The more violently she protests

Our attention to attain.

There is a storm coming

Tell me do you hear?
