This
The storm comes unexpected
the sky still lays light blue
the clouds still glow white
but in the distance
i hear thunder rumble
above me i see streaks of color
lightning flashing every where around
i stand and wait watching the sky
my hands held out as if im crusified
rain begins to fall from the chaos
rushing over the landscape like a great flood
rushing over my skin, my face
as if wiping away all that has plauged me these days
washing the crumbs and dirt away
the trees dont move, except for their wise leaves
that turn over bright green awaiting
the wind wants to howl, but makes not a sound
as if this is to be a silent scene
the rain hits the grass and my bare feet
making the colors of everything look more vibrent to me
on my face a grin breaks out
this beauty has washed away my pout
ready to fly with my hands raised up
not scared to die, with one touch
i feel pure glory in this force
i thank the Gods for this storm
pure power flows from my element into me
this creation i call, pure beauty
this adventure that brings sudden peace
such power, such emotion, such feeling
as if this one creation was brought on just for me
it brings me into belonging, so that i can again see
i am one with this force, tonight begging for more
more rain to soak me further
till it will bring me to my knees
ill scream with insane joy
if this continues to be
such power that flows through me
through this one pure thing
this Storm
