Somehow, it seems almost inappropriate that it is always so beautiful to look at the world after a major storm. But despite the damage and devastation, the challenges of cleaning up, there is a freshness and a newness already imbued by the weather and the water, not to mention the collective efforts of people shouldering together to do their very best.

Benign

Credible signs
partition the air,
and we consider them fair --
delight, in fact, in their light
espousal of a point of view
outside of our own.
There is rain,
and then the sun
creates this magic act --
surely that's all it can form
after all that's been borne.
Rivers dash upon the rocks,
slap us naked upon the tree,
and still we howl for more,
because in the end
it was for the good.
The waters deepen --
all that's left is mist,
rising and cooling
credible signs
all for the good.
