Blown Off Course

Broken clouds and shattered thunder

fill the sky. A stormy night.

Sheets of rain are torn asunder


by the wind that raids and plunders,

scattering its forks of light

through broken clouds. O, shattered thunder


in my heart, lands lost under

waves of salt that glitter bright!

Seas of tears that tear asunder


to reveal a hidden wonder--

new land receives my panicked flight.

Soften, clouds; fall silent, thunder.

Gentle rains, bring me delight.
