each morn thunder rumbles across the bay
with teen conceit I awake
thinking somehow my inner turmoil
has conjured up the storm
***
light of day July sun
has driven clouds away
shimmering water and joyous shouts of children
enjoying this afternoon at the beach
***
summer night sets in
I toss in hot sheets
mind racing but not outpacing the heat
waiting for the storm to come

I'm trying to sleep and my mind starts racing. May as well
get up!
