Dominique KnowlesI remember being home and just watching a storm from the horizon Walk over like a cloak of death The rain was so thick that it looked like another cloud, a phantom Though other clouds near it would cause the sun’s light to bounce off of it, And create a different light It’s strange seeing a sunset and a storm together Soon the storm reaches the land and you’re in the rain, All under the glow of the sunset, 2016Oil on canvas152.4 x 152.4 cm
