Thunder Again in Early Morning.

Distant gentle rumble,
unrestrained 'cross churning water,
breaking waves on fern-dotted hillsides.

Cadence of chaos,
matching time's ungainly stride,
drunken tightrope walker dancing the abyss.

Crude poseur,
salutary sultry and solicitous,
unmasked in deafening silence.

Memorial cannonade,
echo's and memories,
staining solitary darkness.
