Volatile Nature

She is tempestuous by nature
of nature and of course is
Nature. One of those bad
tempered piques when she
decided not to raise the blind
on the window of our landscape.
When dawn came creeping in
after the dark hours lapsed, she
snubbed the emerging light
ordering an opaque grey to
shield illumination and warmth
from the furnace of the sun.
All day she sulked and all day
her creatures looked up
anxiously at that ceiling of
grey to no avail, where her
'do not disturb' sign hung
mockingly over waiting day.
