Approaching Storm

Layers of clouds thicken the early-morning sky;
Trees sway in the assaulting wind,
The last remaining leaves glide to the ground,
Creating a vivid blanket on the trail.

Crows caw, piercing the silence,
Causing my step to quicken.
Buoyant and energized,
I seek my refuge.

— Jeanne Rowe

 

 

Artist Statement: Cawing crows often cause me to stop and pay closer attention to my surroundings. Hearing their voices I wonder about their messages, the nuances of their language and their lives.
