A Storming Symphony

A Storming Symphony The calm before the storm opened up with fury Unnerving silence filled the air with almost complete darkness A storm crept within Purely focused It swelled up and draws Through an angry, filled breath With a vicious voice eased back Exploded once and for all with wet droplets of rain A wrenching sound And a crack of light and fire Shaking everything through and through Orange fire and flickering Light reflected on the valley The silence was interrupted seconds later The fury inside continues to grow It punched a fist again With a raging crack Horrific piercing sounds and bright lights danced Filling the air with a roar of angry Lions Thunder rolled across the sky It couldn't stop itself And starts opening the symphony once more Fueled by adrenaline Thunderbolts of pure terror flashed Slamming and crashing Out-of-control An awful electric shock waves cracked plummeted to the ground Connecting and sinking into the soaked soil A surprisingly calm came over And soothed the storm within Moving on with a view Off the top of the trees and blue sky beyond The battle was won Precious crystal clear rain Soaked the life on the ground © 4/7/2015

The reason it sounds so good it's like my bio states, " I'm afraid of lighting" and the last one we had was a bad one for me.

Are you observing nature? Or struggling with pent-up rage? Either way, you grip the reader's attention and present the common or mundane in a fresh, exciting way. There's a beautiful, sometimes startling, contrast in almost every line. I love all the sounds too. Well written! A 7 from me.

Sean, thank you for your wonderful compliment. It's the fear of thunder in this write. I have always been afraid of it, when I see the lighting out in the distance I stay inside. Blessings dear friend Eve

My husband and I often stay up on our deep porch to watch a storm. I love the power and electric feel to the air, and then the sweet calm when it's past. Great description and use of language to recreate.7 ~ Jan
