Thanks Tim, Thanks Sun-
I revised this piece from out of the NaPM poem-a-day #26 thread, as I gave myself a bit more time to think about it.
Having witnessed and weathered the passing of five family members, I spent a long time considering my reactions/emotions, feeling as though I'd placed one foot on the other side two, or three times too many (and began to struggle to pull it back).
Viewing death from the perspective of being alive is, I must attest, as holy an experience as watching children being born: except that death carries a most certain finality.
Please read and interpret as you like, though I will let on that the weather events described are almost entirely internal. Sorry Tim, my personal storms can only produce so much rain...
