Mother of a Nature
I got home tonight after having to run around to buy - yes you guessed it - more crap (and no Jeff I did not go to WallMart) - I hate shopping for wedding/shower gifts - I really do - it makes me sad anymore....
At any rate - as I got home it looked like it wanted to rain - but yet the remnants of the sunset were still visible over the horizon of Lake Erie. A beautiful sky...and then it happened...
I felt just like I was in that storm scene from the 'Wizard of Oz' - the sky turned literally black in just seconds, the wind began whipping up and crap started flying through the air. The clouds rolled in across the the colbalt blue/black of lake Erie and I could see all the white caps on the water...it was breathless - more breathless than any kiss (I won't say sex; and, since I think kissing is one of the sexiest things you can do - if done properly - that's saying a lot)...it was amazing, brutal, mesmerizing and I wanted to stay out in it all nite. The only thing I can think of to compare to this was the time I was actually out on a break wall in Galveston, Texas watching a hurricaine come in from the Gulf of Mexico.
Nature is a mother-fucker and she's not taking any prisoners and I SO want to be like her....a force to be reckoned with - but then that's bitchy and edgy it isn't really in keeping with that Yoga image - but I guess we all have our dark sides...
Off to listen to the rain....
Good night my sweets...

Wasn't That A Mighty Storm
Traditional; Arrangement by Tom Rush & Eric Von Schmidt
Wasn't that a mighty storm
Wasn't that a mighty storm in the morning, well
Wasn't that a mighty storm That blew all the people all away
You know the year of 1900
Children, many years ago
Death came howling on the ocean
Death calls, you got to go
Now Galveston had a seawall
To keep the water down, and a
High tide from the ocean
Spread the water over the town
(Chorus)
You know the trumpetS give them warning
You'd better leave this place
Now, no one thought of leaving
'til death stared them in the face
And the trains they all were loaded
The people were all leaving town
The trestle gave way to the water
And the trains they went on down
(Chorus)
Rain it was a' falling
Thunder began to roll
Lightning flashed like hell fire
The wind began to blow
Death the cruel master
When the wind began to blow
Rode in on a team of horses
T cried, "Death, won't you let me go".
(Chorus)
Hey, now trees fell on the island
And the houses give away
Some they strained and drowned
Some died in most every way
And the sea began to rolling
And the ships they could not stand
And I heard a captain crying
"God save a drowning man".
(Chorus)
Death your hands are clammy
You got them on my knee
You come and took my mother
Won't you come back after me
And the flood it took my neighbor
Took my brother too
I thought I heard my father calling
And I watched my mother go
(Chorus)
You know the year of 1900
Children, many years ago
Death came howling on the ocean
Death calls, you got to go
(Chorus 2X)
