Analysis of Storm Warning



A hurricane of stimulation,
  a tornado of thought

Blowing through the vast unknowing,
  our natures to be caught

When doubt sits high on light’s horizon,
  storm warnings there portend

Whose cyclones of enlightenment
  —with hailstones shape and bend

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
