Mother Nature In All Her Majesty

Massively mighty thunderous rumblings Orchestrate incendiary ‘arcings’; Towering black titans roil, darkly twist, Heart’s lifeblood readied lands shall soon be kissed. Earth’s gales rise, roar, the screaming aether rack, Reel further as seared heaven’s bellow, “Crack!” Nature begins her cleansing cold shower, Animals cower as does each flower. Tumultuous downpourings now begin, Under tin rooves a terrifying din. Raging winds rise, a cacophonous sound, Energized lightning again strikes the ground. Ionization invades lit senses, Negating misplaced hubris’ defenses. Amazed wonder courses through throbbing veins Lost in joy at these life nourishing rains, Lamenting not at this storm’s seeded gains. Humbled by Gaia’s sheer magnificence, Enthralled by her eternal diligence, Rapture overwhelms my intelligence. Molten heat has been balanced by blessed cold; As storm clouds depart twin rainbows stand bold, Jewelled colours sparkle in afternoon skies. Elegant pink starts to tinge sunset’s eyes, Scintillating stars caress heaven’s arch; Towards infinity they onwards march Yielding such beauty a sad soul they parch. Note, utilizing the second last line from "Gully Washer's Whoooshhhhh".

There are some lovely comments here Deborah and thank you so much for enjoying this piece so much. I'm still trying to work out how to navigate around the site and I'm still not sure whether I can reply to individual comments or not, nor do I know yet how to view other contest entries so that I can provide positive feedback on them as well. I'm sure that I'll learn though! I'll pop over and have a look at your new contest, again, thank you. Chris

I'm not sure if I can reply to individual comments or not, so I'll try it this way. Thank you for your lovely comment Deborah, glad you enoyed! I've fixed the p.s., but it was actually that line that gave me the concept of trying to cater for more than just the storm aspect of Nature's majesty. Lovely imagery in your poem. Blessings. Thank you Vrushani for your wonderful comment, Nature's majesty is powerful, so I was trying to do 'Her' justice. Blessings Chris
