Wild August

August has turned wild.

Mighty trees feel its rage.

Driving rain and swirling winds

send a thousand tears

cascading down to the earth

and weave them

into a carpet of dead leaves.

What an inspiring and delightful atmospheric environment you live in Paul.
"skies black as night in the middle of the day" brings thoughts of John Milton.
Thank you for the like.
