    • Dust Before the Storm

      The warning didn’t come
      with sirens or lights.

      It came quietly,
      a shift in the air,
      a stillness settling
      like dust before a storm.

      The horses grew restless,
      pacing the fence line,
      ears toward something
      I could not yet see.

      Even the cows

      • Very good…. I love this part the way a blue butterfly
        will sometimes land
        on your outstretched hand.
        As I wrap all these thoughts… A beautiful metaphor.. like if a butterfly can sense our thoughts . I do feel they sense those things too. Nice work… Keep it up

        • Thanks Navina, I am glad you found this poem enjoyable. It means a lot and I appreciate your comment
