And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
~ Mark 4:39
The View
I smiled and kissed the azure sky
of May, but felt a prowler nearby—
I couldn't keep its clouds at bay
and so the heavens faded to grey.
That's when the bandits began to swarm
and strike, but calmly—I kissed the storm;
because I knew that only I
could steal the heavens from the sky.
