Nimbus gather above, racing swiftly upon the wind With face lifted to the darkening tendrils of her skies, my breath crashes like thunder hammering a loud din as her twin scepters of lightning flash before my eyes I behold the majesty of the siren's long pent release She touches the deepest roots of my stimulated soul In guttural voice she commands the storm to cease Captivated, I am enslaved by the tempest in control July 15th, 2017

Powerfully penned Lin and I love the personification (and also the picture)all we can do when a storm is brewing is sit tight and write:-) hugs Jan xx

This was a storm of passion...the woman being the nimbus and her mate the slave to her passionate storm. Think about her twin scepters. Thanks, chica.

Interestingly short piece from you Lin, was it a recent bit of weather inspiring you? Well written.

No, Charlie. It was one of those few lines written in a notebook that never came to fruition. I'm not sure it has now, but there it is. Thanks, my friend.
