Nature's Portent

Calm breezes pass through.
Leaves drift down from tall branches.
A lazy descent.

This cozy moment
fools one into believing
one can rest at ease.

Heavy rain clouds loom.
Darkness on the horizon
augurs force unleashed?

I think, as a comparison, that we're often lulled into those periods of peace. As with MS, things may be status quo at one minute, allowing us to believe all is well. Then, with a vengeance, we're reminded of its presence. We certainly typify that calm before the storm!

Muff, you understood the metaphor perfectly.

I am amidst the storm, but at least I got some rest before all hell broke loose.

Karen, sorry about the storm. As I have been in one for a while, I know much you must yearn for rest again. Good luck.
