Rain-Storm Valley Just Before the Rain

The sky is water-color gray
over the silhouette hills,
dark clouds slide by slowly
like great barges of water,
they are soft ragged carriers of rain,
without beginning or end,
dark-winged clouds in a forever formation,
urged on by the damp-breathed wind
that tortures through the limbs of
December darkened trees like some
half-forgotten nightmare.
This is a portrait of a rainstorm valley,
done in water-color.
