Lake Effect Storm

A cold fall day, strong northwest wind
Blows across the waters of the great lake
Still warm from the summer
In the center of the lake
Clouds form quickly right out of the blue
Thicken and staying white on top,
Become darker underneath

Standing on the shore they roll toward you
As they flow over you
Each has some impression - beauty, threat, or rain
They go over and into your past
A Beautiful and awe inspiring sky

Lil’ Bit, put your jacket on against the wind
Pull up the hood when it rains
Acknowledge the impact of the past
then put it where it belongs
Keep your face toward the blue
