'Il tocco dolce della morte','The sweet touch of death'

So love the darkness just when the lightening starts to flash across the sky.. What beauty it holds..

 

 

 

The darkness of the night lights up with brilliance
I stand in awe, for such beauty before my eyes
'Il tocco dolce della morte', 'The sweet touch of death' invades my form
Beauty beyond comparison, for feelings of such is surreal
Flashing colors zig-zag across the night sky,
making me feel more alive than ever before.
And I inhale the sweet, sweet scent.
Of the coming rain about to fall upon my form
The tingling sensation comes along slowly
Till finally it takes control of all within
Then.. Raindrops begin to fall
Fist slowly, then soon, covering me in all its glory
And I smile, arms held wide, taking all it sends forth
Eyes towards the sky, I watch as the darkness turns to light
Colors brilliantly flashing, turning all into a painting of majestic glory
And slowly I whisper..
'Il tocco dolce della morte'

'The sweet touch of death',, yes.. Has invaded me once more.

‘La forza della natura’

You turned an atmospheric cacophony of dissonance and danger into a creatively imaginative and positive resonance of light, harmony and respect for the elements.

Excellently done!

When lightening strikes, that touch of death looks beautiful. It puts us under a spell and the danger is there. Good poem my friend.

This is a amazing poem and photo. Last year lighting took out my 30 year tree and almost knock the house over when the tree was cut in half in the center. I like the description and story in the poem. The power of mother nature is amazing and powerful. I like the ending to the excellent poem. Thank you.
