Save

pregnant with moisture the clouds labor in earnest to bring forth the storm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- lightning tears a wound in the undulating sky it won't be contained -------------------------------------------------------------------------- temperature clashes fighting like they are at war which side the victor? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- thundersound rattles the ground underneath my feet it goes right through me -------------------------------------------------------------------------- the wind sniffs around doors and crevices, searching for an opening -------------------------------------------------------------------------- hailstones start falling (is this when you say, "oh, hail?") hope it don't get worse-- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- rainfall slashing down beats a quickening tattoo like a frantic dance -------------------------------------------------------------------------- the wind wants its way throwing a temper tantrum like an angry child -------------------------------------------------------------------------- the hissing of the rain sounds like a continuous hissing of a snake -------------------------------------------------------------------------- a double rainbow signals a promise from God the worst has ended -------------------------------------------------------------------------- the storm is over multi-colored clouds convene celebrate its end --------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm always in awe at the splendor of a thunderstorm, and also usually quite relieved when it leaves with little incidence. They are wonderous things, and inspirational is just the beginning! In a way, wish I could have seen this for myself. Sounds truly magnificent in ways only a storm can be:)
