Before Storms

Two Men Looking at the Moon by Caspar David Friedrich



Before Storms

Before storms
a man stands alone
hiding deep in musings black
waiting for thunderous roars before
stepping back with eyes cast down.
Trouble knows his name
and speaks it.

  8. Trouble has indeed become familiar with my name
    My eyes, though, cast not toward the ground
