Change Within

No two moment’s rest on the same strangeness, the storm within, the change without, a radiant gloom advances on the wind, making for home shores. Like chance dormers edging  afternoon clouds, a pair shall test the love of an opportunity,   meeting in the salty legends. Flushing out the heat behind the trees and eyes of the wild,    a storm without and movement taking breath away is cause for change alone, but deep within – the artifacts of damage have no sound, no roar except in savage lashes, no sting but nature’s exalting the skin with branches. Primal powers behind me stir  the ritual frenzy, startle the myrtles into petaled snow. What inner wish has linked  the same rush of coolness, resolving sea of forces, taming, synchronizing satisfactions,  headlong changes deep within, a poet’s faulty logic to blame?
