Silence of Baja
Orange-red sun awakening
Driving away the dawn
Chasing away the shadows
Bursting forth
Rushing into the sky
Over the Vermillion Sea
A land of silence
Harshness
And sudden change
Clouds forming slowly
Over the islands
Moving rapidly over land
Keening of the wind
Hackles rise
Assaulting the senses
The shriek…..of a hurricane
Crashing on shore
Wind and rain
Once dry arroyos
Flowing full
Boiling out to Sea
A land of silence
Harshness
Beauty and Pain
