The loud rumbling, crashing sounds of thunder woke me and I nestled into his breast. A feeling of fearfulness creeps over, as the flash of lighting hinders my rest. Rising, he moves toward the closed window, shutting the drapes. Blocking out the striking flash, I hid my head under the pillow, away from the sounds that are frightening. He gently caressed me with reverence and a gentle kiss, calming the storm of fear. I looked up into his eyes in silence, "I don't like being scared" and cuddled near. The storm is over, calmness has set in, and darkness no longer lingers deep within. 7/21/2017 Form S- Poetry Contest Theme; Storm Sponsored by: Broken Wings I Will Help You For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

Jean, as soon as he hears the thunder outside he comes to check up on me, he knows how a feel. He does make the fear go away. :) ~*

Superb creation from start to finish my friend. Great theme for a top class sonnet. And you have delivered this with great insight, passion and message delivered. A fav..

Both this sonnet and the inspiration that lead to it are beautiful, Eve. I must admit that at times I am guilty of being a man 'of little faith'!! Regards // paul
