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

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
