Whiplash Weather [Free Verse]

Photograph taken in Stepantsminda, Georgia of evergreens in the foreground and Mount Shani in the background.
Mountains are the
Lamborghini of weather --
from gray and dismal to
gloriously sunny
and back again
in record time.
It may rain and the droplets
burn off before noon,
leaving no trace of
the gloom.
One day may feel
multiple ways before
the sun goes down.

The human mind isn't
built for such whiplash
emotional experience.
