The Big Sky

provides today with
variations of life

timeless emotions
cheerful remembrances
and a willingness to

partner us forward. We tend
to experience very sad
moments
but the human spirit
is resilient --

in spite of rainstorms or
lingering typhoons
from exotic
hideaways

a wealth of rain drumming on
our asphalt floors

floods which strip funds
from overheated economies

and twisters dancing through
little towns in
layers of tearful distress --

yet we overcome.
