Arrival

Clouds hover around the slate colored mountain Like puffs of smoke lurking in the gray sky But there’s not a fire, it is a rainy day With the sun only spitting rays to break through The dark looming clouds and damp air all around The grass is wet and the trees are standing still Strong storms are forecast to be on the way Everything seems motionless, waiting for arrival Maybe nature’s loud voice will break this silence With new sounds to hear and more light to see Heidi Sands 7/23/20

The air becomes heavy and everything becomes still but nothing beats a good storm to clear and cool the air. Tom

To be sure, there is often a calm before a storm. Love the way you described the approach of storm clouds. This could be a metaphor for life, Heidi. Love your poem. A fave for me! Hugs, Carolyn

There is always something so comforting about a storm for me. Not something terrible with damages and loss but s simple summer storm! Everything starts anew afterwards and the air is clear. your lovely poem perfectly captures that feeling for me! Happy Thursday xxoo

There always seems to be an angst in the air in the calm right before a storm. I could feel that in this poem, Heidi, nicely done. Hugs, John
