Her Moods

The signs of her mood distemper
clearly caution to view the day
with due regard for her brooding
presence. No need for alarm, simply
awareness that symbolic of her
extended empire as ruler of all
that exists, she may, without
provocation, assemble her
atmospheric devices to plot
raging winds blasting searing heat
and catastrophic downpours 
causing either wildfires or flooding
to suddenly erupt before she 
again regains the moderation and
grace of presence we so much
prefer to praise her for, as the
most powerful influence in our
dependent lives; we mortals who
tremble before the unrestrained
majesty and might of nature.
