You nailed this Pat. I have a picture in my head of a scene of nature that just stops you in your tracks, thought, speech or being in the middle of something that stopped being important and just watched the spectacle of nature in silent wonder. No need for thoughts to interrupt, just a knowing that you have a smile on your face and truly are in the moment of being.
To fit into 17 syllables what others spend a lifetime trying to find the words is truly impressive and one day I hope to get there too 😊

dear Lorry... it has taken me years to realize that Thunder is the best answer to the secret of passion... you may have to wait until almost forever... your review is a clue to your youthful dreams.
gently, Pat

Dear Pat, I am happy to return here and leave my heartprint as well as my footprint. I am so pleased you too are captivated by the power of Haiku. So few syllables can create such a lasting impact. This site has been playing up again so I do hope you can see both my initial response and this one too. Sending you love across the waves on a blue sky morning.

dearest Chris... an embrace of thunder across the waves 🌊 has pacified the four am wake up ... looking forward to another day of Summer Sun. I had no idea I had missed your earlier review. Perhaps the unusual weather pattern is affecting cyberspace... thanks for your charming reviews... it is a time for reflection when the World is sending Rockets 🧨 around the edges of Earth. tenderly, Pat

In the middle of a pandemic when such things become a priority, you know the plot is lost. Money should be spent on saving lives. Vaccines before rockets dear Pat. Take great care of you and yours.

dear Chris.. we have always had a struggle with good and evil.. we will not cease to pray... Prayer can be what we “Feel” to be Best for everyone. It is an awesome Task... but never underestimate the Power of the Human Spirit. gently, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

Amen dear Pat...

Storms do have a habit of blotting out the light of the sun so they can try to impress with their fork lightning and sheet flashing fireworks. I always prefer the air when it is sweet after they have left and rolled on elsewhere. Have a lovely day Pat.

dear Chris... I agree... the Air is sweet after a Storm... last evening, the day had been overcast with pale grey "clouds of doubt" literally in the Sky. I had just barely "fetched" Roger from dialysis for five hours... and the Rained poured down in torrents for almost an hour... then suddenly the Sun came out and smiled!!. The Sun set about seven pm with an Innocent Grin. And so it goes... gently, Pat

Thunder can be very seducing allowing thoughts to dream away and being caught up in the moment of simply listening to the deep rumbling outside. Oh the power of a storm

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Beauty... the depth of your perception is romantically persuaded when thunder and lightening stir emotions. Thank you for your words of wisdom. gently, Pat

[Poetic Beauty]

You are welcome. Storms speak to me and I love to watch them.

OH my, Petal.. seems the season is seasoning your poetry!
That said, reading again.. this is briefly but wholly academic! Clever!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Em... you give me that feathery feeling...
as if I could spread my wings over pastures of Lavender and alfalfa where Love is Cool and Summer is Sweet. tenderly, Pat

[emmajoy]

You could and can, dear friend.. enjoy!!!! :)
