Surely an unfortunate turn manifests itself.
That we have before us a dark misery of a
weather day. Truculent and menacing, hideous
to the psyche, it is moody nature gifting us
with one of her wild tantrums. She stamps
her pernicious pique on the heavens, loosing
upon us stinging ice pellets, a hurricane of
snow, the dangers of freezing rain - an
altogether perilous combination in this
frigid atmosphere, with the unleashed fury
of the wind complicit in wreaking an utter
bleakness upon the cowering landscape.
Surely it was nothing puny and error-prone
humankind did to compel such a powerful rage?
There are times, we know, when she feels her
authority over the universe challenged, when
our arrogance wearies her short-fused temper.
Her arsenal of intemperate displays of fearsomely
majestic power impels us to genuflect in servile,
fearful obeisance to our universal instructor.
