Into the Storm

Into the Storm

 

Grey overcast skies,

Pregnant angry clouds,

Groan to the vision

Just as the thunder sounds.

 

Lightning displays streaks

Of electricity in a fiery glow.

Splintering the sky

Into a light show.

 

Claps of thunder

Release a downpour of rain.

Then, thunder vibrates

And seems to grumble in pain.

 

Soon, the clouds part,

Leaving the earth in damp mist.

Tiny crystal droplets fall from leafy trees,

The atmosphere, in quiet bliss.

 

The heart falls--

Falls even in uncertainties.

Still, it looks ahead,

Into the storm of possibilities.

I think this is my favourite write of yours Melinda. Your description provides wonderful imagery of storms and the sweetness in the air after they have dissipated. very nicely conveyed.

Good poem, Malinda. The storms come to shake us up, then leave almost as quick as they came.
