A Storm in the Night


Slowly into the night
Silently advancing
Unknown and undetected
Trembling now, but
Click to enlarge photo
Unrelenting
Nearly within reach
And poised to strike
It's approach is like
A zephyr
Gently caressing
Suddenly without warning
Power without measure
Gloriously unleashed
Pounds down upon the land
Her terrifying fury
Splashes the earth, then
As quickly as it came
Retreats slowly into the night

This was poem written quite some time ago, but I thought it matched the fierceness of the sky in this picture.  That light colored cloud was moving very fast.

  1. That was beautiful. It reminds me of a storm we had here the other day.

  2. Anne, thank you. Interestingly, we didn't get a storm from that. It was just passing through.
