Stormy Departure

You chose to leave early that day, work in town a few miles away. Storm clouds gathered giving me pause, a day trip flaunting Nature’s Laws. Rain fell for days–dark, dread, and stout. It veiled roads, no passable route. I missed you and furrowed my brow I wanted you beside me now. I smiled when the bright sun came out. The winds and rains had lost their clout. Roads clear, at last I will see you. Happy reunion would ensue. Traveling once banned, became allowed. Then there you appeared, standing proud. You had weathered the storm safely, Ever glad for your safety.
