21Courage is not the towering oak that sees storms come and go; it is the
fragile blossom that opens in the snow.
-Alice M. Swaim
Falling, pouring,
Tears from the sky.
Grey, dismal,
A great big sigh.
Roaring, bellowing,
Flashes of light.
Flapping, cawing,
A large 'V' sign.
Swaying, bending,
Waving goodbye.
Scattering, flying,
Sweeping the lanes.
Howling, lamenting,
Rage boundless.
Alone, unaccompanied,
Lone figure in the rain.
