Tonight the storm blew in
Darkness covering the deep.
Green-sky funnel clouds
threatening everything that is
…
passed over, passed over
blew on past
while beauty rarely seen swept in
as morning follows night.
…
yellow puffs of mercy,
puffs of wonder,
yellow cotton-candy light
puffed across the sky
…
pushed by first-light breeze
that cooled the skin
refreshed the air and
took my breath away!
– Gordon C. Stewart, Mother’s Day, 2004
