in the eye of a storm
waiting
knowing that at any moment
it will hit
full force
it’s all around
you can smell it’s power
you can taste it's strength
but here now
there is quiet
so eerie
so deadly peaceful
when it hits
it
will
kill
what’s left
knowing that at any moment
it will hit
full force.....
That kind of feeling I had not so long ago..
domestic storm......not rainstorm.....gggrr
happy new year

Hi Jo
Thanks for your comment on my pictoral.
Had it in mind since your challenge first came out. My stepmom is in ICU in Nevada, so I'm gone a lot right now. This is right on, by the way--nothing like the dead silence seconds before a tornado drops down.
P.S. See my bio page for Sketchman's depiction of me!!! Yes.
good write! hope your storms go away; and hope california escapes the worst of the wild weather y'all are having out west! my prayers are with you; stay safe, and be careful, okay? with much love, your friend, karen lynn. (((HUGS))) :)
terrific write, josie! ya think the storm's over, and WHAMMO, it hits from the other side, stronger than before. excellent visuals...excellent verse! (((HUGS))) and happy new year to you...thanks for your friendship and support! love, karla. :)
