Waiting for the storm. <br />Tornado warning. <br />Tornado alarm. <br /> <br />Mariah sleeps now. <br />Cloud-comforter nestled. <br />Tip-toe silence <br />Through the trees... <br /> <br />Baby's breath on <br />The highest leaves. <br /> <br />Mariah's gown waits <br />For her awakening... <br />She will slip it on, <br />Then trance-dance... <br /> <br />Twisting, whirling <br />Down from the sky... <br />Marrying the Earth <br />With capricious lies. <br /> <br />Still. Too quiet. <br />Nothing moves. <br />I wait for the dance. <br />Mariah slowly wakens.<br /><br />elysabeth faslund<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/waiting-for-the-dance/
