He takes pictures of nature at her most erratic,
enjoys the tempest stimulating and climactic
His gaze studying and intense
takes in the soul-thrilling landscapes through his lens --
the sea flinging her skirts in a passionate dance;
the wind undulating wildly over the grass;
lightening-clouds brewing, electrifying the air.
and trees swaying like windswept hair;
A storm warning; the first of many more,
will see him leave towards another coastal shore
Nature, a siren, with irresistible allure
claims his attention as with winters before
He prepares his equipment and stocks his truck
he says goodbye not without a tender touch
And though she knows it’s a strange kind of insecure
she can’t help feeling jealous of every thunderstorm
