Weather, or Not...

Only a threat of rain -
  issued from Sky's full
   expectant belly,
    groaned and flashed -
that infant within strong
growing lush and vibrant
  rolling lavishly, protected
   by warm womb of night...

Only a hint of breeze -
  tickled across
   delicate hands of
    softly swayed trees
in their sensuous Summer dance
   whispering lullabyes of
    ancient soothing language
     to that Mother's restless child...

Only a scent of storm -
  wafting sweetly toward
   human senses, awaiting
    that torrent - wild and wet
Before She stretched languid limbs
across the milkyway -
  turned, and yawned a cloud
   quieting her child's almost waking...
