Hurricane John really made this one ring true


I posted it a few months back and thought it appropiate to post it again in light of John and because we have picked up many new Nomads since it was last posted.

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
