Equinox Eve
for Lori
Now after that yesternight rarity
Of rainbow thunder lightning chased away
The shards of summertime a clarity
Has dawned blue lucid still on me today
Not one leaf moves in the autumn-dawn sky
This blue bowl of silence under which I
Am forced to contemplate to wait as fate
Prepares for dark and light to calibrate
In equipoise to balance night and day
I believe in love today the eve of
Autumnal Equinox so come what may
They say this is the calm before the storm
That this is how the hurricane begins
I have something hurricanes cannot harm
I know a secret: he who loves most wins
