Gray Sky Opening.

 

Storm over!

Gray sky opening.

California sky deep blue

With startling white clouds

Floating from here to infinity.

Hills burnt brown with countless

Days of year-round sunshine

Now alive with velvet-like

Green growth brought to

Life by the kiss of heavens tears.

Rolling hills with wind rippled

Undergrowth born anew by

Liquid touch

As off in the distance

Far mile upon mile

Ragged mountains range with

Snowy white crowns

Leaving one to wonder

If cloud topped 

Or snow covered.

Haze of the city washed

Clean by wind and rain

Giving vision,

So far as the

Eye can see

With crystal clarity.

Storm over!

Gray sky opening.

I only spent three wonderful years in California, but I recall the storms in the annual renewal of the hillsides after the rain and the white topped mountains so nearby while the temperature remained moderate all year long. Your poem brought back memories.

Damn Mark, is that you? A quite different approach to the poem than anything I have ever read from you before. I certainly approve, although you don't need my approval. As I read the poem I could vividly visualize the contour of the land and the color it was. Good work!
