A Cloud of Ash Drifts
Over Bali II
The weather report
predicts
A dry and warm winter
Each day the sun rises
Each day there is no
change
The trees are bare
The grasses golden
Slipping toward brown
Winter white brings
transformation
Sun everyday does not a
winter make
I wonder am I stranded in
another land
Or is this the new normal
A warm winter seems to be
without event
Report just in
Volcano erupts
Flights cancelled
Thick cloud of ash drifts
over Bali
---------------------------------------------------------------
Back in The Day
Back in the day
A beach bum of sorts
My gear strapped to my
back
The sun hot on my skin
Scan the beach
A sand crab hurries home
Waves come ashore
Rearrange shells at water’s
edge
End of day
Wave goodbye to the gulls
Trudge down the beach
Return to the waiting
boat

I was more of a mountain man myself.
I would strap a pack and hike out in the middle of nowhere.
Sleep against a tree.
Though I did some sailing in the summers.
That was fun! I do like the beach though. My fav
is Ft Desoto in FL.
I am just about to do that very thing. The sun is out, calling me away from my desk to the beach. Yay!
The winter that's cancelled... it's so eerie.
Love mountains more than beaches, but the sea is fantastic.
That ash can transform a landscape...such a scary time to be there.
Love the sense of yearning here - both in the winter that doesn't come, and the memories - reminded me of Romance by W. J Turner - the volcanoes, the sense of timelessness - terrific piece.
The seasons have changed and warm winters appear as a blessing, instead of a (prophetic) warning...
It snowed here yesterday which is very early, as we usually do not see snow until late December, early January.
I worry for those in Bali.

Interesting that Bali's weather is more influenced by a volcano than the seasons.
I like your information which is very useful for me. Thanks.
