A Surreal Dream

Lightning flashes, followed by thunderclaps, dominate the scene, dispersing the crowds. And the night sky's twinkling stars stay hidden behind prodigious banks of sullied clouds. Brisk breezes tussle the tops of the trees; branches bending as the wind increases. And a mixture of rain, sleet, and hailstones tears loose leaves into fragmented pieces. Ebony shadows merge with the darkness when Lightning's fiery gaze burns its way through. And as raindrops dim Lightning's jagged eye, Thor's magic hammer forges sparks anew. A part of Nature's natural array: thunderstorms feel like a surreal dream. For when Lightning's hypnotic flash ignites: amidst the charcoal clouds, wailing banshees scream.

congratulations, Emile. Your expressive way with words shines here, in particular I like the jagged eye of lightning and the slow motion/rising cream. Great imagery you bring to mind.
