Lightning Storm

the birth

a partial breeze.

gentle wind teases air,

carries fine rain into my face –

as tears

 

Slowly,

sky curtain rises to unveil                   

the promise of a storm.

a hurricane

unfolds.

 

wind shakes

all elements.

nature’s manic drama

begins – thunder then lightning soaks

darkness.

 

Rooted

to my seat, I breathe my fill of

storm’s wrath.  Mere mortal peers

on the edge of

danger.
