THE PROVERBIAL STORM

I HEARD THE RUMBLINGS OF LIFE TREMBLE THROUGH THE VALLEY, LOST IN THE VAST PLAINS OF THE DESERT, I SEARCH FOR HOPE AND COMFORT, BUT THEY ARE SCARCE AS WATER.

AS THE CLOUDS COVER THE SUN, THE STRONG WINDS CREATE A WAILING MELODY, USHERING IN THE STORM WITH BLACK CLOUDS AND COLD RAIN.

 THE POWERFUL STORM ROLLS IN WITH ITS THUNDER WHILE THE LIGHTNING SLICES THROUGH THE BLEAK DARKNESS, ILLUMINATING THE BEAUTY OF NATURE.

 THE STORM PEAKS WITH ITS UNBARRIABLE FORCE, KEEPING ME CAPTIVE IN A WHIRLWIND OF EMOTIONS, AND MY SENSES INTENSIFY TO THE TENTH POWER.

WILL THIS STORM DEFINE ME, OR WILL I EMERGE TRIUMPHANT?

Really cool how the storm feels like both a battle and a kind of wild beauty, love how that lightning “illuminates the beauty of nature” right in the midst of all the chaos.
