weather forecast

The wind was gentler today.

5-hour electrical outage yesterday

fallen trees over roads, houses, cars

delayed traffic, hurried

meals in the austerity of candlelight.

Calamities coming in stages

but nature can be at its best

whispering to kite runners,

silent when hot air ballooners fly,

rapturous when surfers climb mountains.

Beauty comes like the night

two lovers meeting at twilight

vowing to love each other forever.

Tonight will be freezing

love is kind.
