Weathering the Storm

I heard a storm is coming 

and at this ordinarily alarming prospect of danger

I felt entirely 

and utterly 

safe,

because since knowing you

I have felt precisely that

- safe.

When the storm comes, 

as I'm sure it will,

we'll find shelter under the tree -

the same tree we settled under by the canal,

when we watched the leaves flicker black and white

and smiled at the ducklings swimming by.

- Our tree.

Watching the dark, heavy clouds collide,

listening to the deep rumbling of the skies,

feeling the purest of raindrops quench our skin...

I will stand

in the heart of the storm

blissfully with you, 

in the comfort of your skin

and in the kindness of your heart, 

weathering the storm as one.

I sense a deep tryst of trust
to weather depths it must

Nice expressions of trust in bloom with each other

i like the allegory in this...literally being safe in the storm with someone we love...but also figuratively safe in the storms of life...
likewise..."in the heart of the storm/blissfully with you"
that reminds me of the end scene in Twister...
