Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

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

Mike Gentile July 23, 2020 at 12:25 PM 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 Heidi Sands July 23, 2020 at 12:39 PM I am glad I could capture that feeling for you Mike. Thank you! I hope you are well. Happy Thursday :)

John Gondolf July 23, 2020 at 11:01 AM 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 Heidi Sands July 23, 2020 at 11:16 AM You are right John. It feels that way. Thank you for your kind comment. Take care. Hugs :)
