Winter landscape, by Caspar David Friedrich
Robert L. Martin

Robert L. Martin

Lofted Currents

Lofted Currents
 
Currents in the skies
You have your restless ways
Instability is your game
Like gypsies at play
 
You bring rain to the desert
Snow down south
Warmth to the frigid
 
You are that
Mysterious traveler
Unexpected guest
Sometimes welcome
Sometimes not
