Friend Storm...

just trying to describe how thunderstorms in summer make me feel.

 

Thunder rumbles across the sky

Echoing in the distance

The night sky reflects no stars

Taking the curtain all away

 

Gentle drops rain down on me

The sticky humid night relieved

Cool breeze lifts strands of hair

Away from my face and clear

 

Jagged jolts of electricity

Light the sky quite suddenly

Bright and strong yet silently

Waiting for the coming boom

 

Thunder follows close behind

Storm moves ever near

Excitement begins to fill my senses

A wonder of nature unexpected

 

Crashing Thunder closer now

Lightening follows and leads

Winds pick up as Storm passes by

Taking away Evil’s Mask

 

Storm clears the air and the mind

Brings the new and cleans

Rejuvenate my heart and soul

As only Storm can, it seems.

I was right there with you, Mel. I do love thunder storms, just as long as they do no damage. (Those pesky tornadoes are pretty un-welcome, too.)

Beautiful imagery in this piece...

[Michael X]

mel, this is stunningly visual, beautiful, and inspired, the entire landscape comes to life under the light
of your skill to present imagery in all its color and glory, the form smoothe, aportrait glimpse, felt as
if i was watching the strom pass through the soul, there is an orchastrated rhythm to the passion,
felt as if i was wisked into the magical ambience, feeling the refreshing power of raindrops falling
upon worldly cares, washing away life's pain, your talent is wonderfully consistant, thanks for sharing.

Electrifying composition of metaphoric creativity. The word structure and imagery flowed smoothly throughout and concluded most succinctly.

Exquisite!

Beautiful writing as always, Stormz-o-mine! I love the way you captured it and it takes the reader away on a journey into what you see. Loved it :)

Grand WRITE!! I too enjoy a good thunderstorm though I try not to be out when the lightening is flashing for I'm often the tallest thing out there; a lightening rod I do not want to be. ;~)
