Lightning Flashes

Mighty mountain peaks high in dark clouds are cloaked lights flash within them distant rumblings are heard and I stand in valley low in the calm of spring day gentle light on me softly falls a soft kiss of coming warmth and my curls begin to move teasing winds upon them to hug smell of moisture of what’s to come a touch of chill upon my skin distant clouds on mountain high slowly settle coming down and the breeze more quickly blows and the clouds blot out the sun sharp jagged lightning flashes down and the thunder now does roar rain is seen slashing down and is rushing to wards me goosebumps grow upon my skin as the wind more bitter grows and the moisture now can be felt mists the blow upon the wind racing quickly towards me flashing lightning that fills with fear thunder roars deafening loud droplets now against me slam cloth is dampened growing wet pressing coldly against my skin stealing all the warmth away and shivering now I begin to shake No shelter is there from the storm a place of safety where to now flee sanctuary is not from what comes a darkening to the descendents on me shrieking wind about me blows freezing wind tears at me thunder pounds pressing down and all my hope from me flees and I crouched down to the ground seeking safety to be found from the storm that around me rages freezing rain and slashing winds hopeless darkness shuddering here head is bowed and eyes are closed arms are wrapped tightly clasped all hope is lost into my fate howling wind does lightly fade flesh slashed less by the rain lightning dances farther away and wind now above thunder heard alive somehow and fading storm as I grovel on the ground knowing not how I still live escaping somehow the mighty storm darkness now does grow light rain somehow less hard does fall wind does blow with less chill hope within does begin to grow opening my eyes about to gaze seeing the storm now racing away weak sunlight begins now to fall a trace of warmth upon the wind across the valley dark thunderhead with lightning flashes moving away thunder now more distance grows and the wind does fade away slowly now I begin to stand gaze about me on the land and realize somehow I survived still dripping cold from the rain hair in damp ringlets now wet clothing upon me hangs and my shivers begin to fade as soft sunlight upon me falls
