Monsoon Rain Clouds as Soon from Our Patio (August) — Image by kenne

Across the wide expanse, the sky darkens,
not with threat but with blessing.
The desert tilts its face upward,
ready to drink the slow blue thunder
of monsoon rain.

Tucson Under Monsoon Clouds   1 comment

Monsoon Clouds Over Tucson — Image by kenne

From the curves of Catalina Highway
the valley unfurls—
Tucson lying wide and pale
beyond Thimble Peak,
its stone finger pointing skyward.

Above, monsoon clouds gather,
dark towers rising in silence,
their shadows sliding
across rooftops and washes,
a restless tide of shade.

The desert waits,
heat trembling on the plain,
as light breaks through in bursts,
and the promise of rain
hangs heavy in the air,
a gray curtain poised to fall.

 

 

Monsoon Clouds Over The Catalinas   Leave a comment

Monsoon Clouds Over The Catalinas — Image by kenne

Over the Catalinas,
monsoon clouds rise like mountains
upon the mountain—
rolling, swelling, breaking light
into silver and shadow.

In black and white,
the desert’s colors fall away,
yet the drama deepens:
every ridge sharpened,
every fold of stone
wrapped in the storm’s unfinished script.

The sky is restless charcoal,
the peaks a pale bone line—
between them
the promise of rain,
the hush before thunder speaks.

 

Waiting For The Monsoom   Leave a comment

Waiting for the Monsoon

The ground holds its breath,
cracked lips of earth
whisper old prayers to the sky.

Leaves curl like tired hands,
and even the wind
seems to limp through the dust.

Clouds gather slowly —
not yet the promise,
but the hint of one.

We watch the horizon,
counting seconds between
light and thunder,

hoping the sky will open
not in fury,
but in grace.
