Storm

The waiting crows are scattering now,
the thunder shouts its wrath 'cross seas.
A sound to remind me of a voice,
only as still as water and angry as me.

The wind howls out in the piney woods;
the putrid bog drowned in fresh rain.
To jolt the nostalgia of such a place,
that exists in a memory of berry stains.

There in the crook of a lightning bolt,
I left my wish to strike the empty fields.
To lay in a patch of Lavender and moonlight,
distracted by pleasantries I cannot wield.

The tender hands weaving twiggy baskets,
to fill with blooms and hillside herbs;
The ones I hoped would find my wish,
chasing the thunderheads, and a flurry of birds.

Good to know the anger. Make us know we are alive.
"The waiting crows are scattering now,
the thunder shouts its wrath 'cross seas.

only as still as water and angry as me."
I loved the above lines. Anger can be a blessing or can make us dead in heart. Powerful words shared dear Anna.
