Premium Member Echoes of a Storm
The thunder rolls across the sky, right after the flash of light spreads across the horizon, and it echoes… echoes… long and rumbling. Its deep bass crashes and shakes our very foundation. The accompanying wind blows menacingly, and the falling rain becomes a stinging downpour. The once tiny droplets now becoming a raging river, washing away at the earth, as it tries to sink into the...

Premium Member Of Coming Storm
The Spirit’s rise of coming storm, Spoken before first fertile drop. How did I know? It seems the norm. The Spirit’s rise of coming storm. Thunder, lightning, and blust’ry form. Husband says, he didn’t hear a drop. The Spirit’s rise of coming storm, Spoken before first fertile drop. ...

Thunderstorm
The fury of a thunderstorm Should not be a surprise, For prior to its sudden booms Come dark-as-nighttime skies. The wind whips up, the branches sway, The air cools down a bit And lightning zigzags right before The thunder seems to hit. Then with a crash the storm attacks, The booming close and loud, Which causes shrieks and running feet, Dispersing any crowd. Umbrellas open, wipers snap And...

Premium Member Puddling Tears
6/17/2025 Before Heaven began showing its anger, stillness claimed ownership of the midnight sky. But distant flashes instantly brought thunder, I awoke from slumber thinking dawn was nigh. Then that precise moment clouds began to weep, were cloud tears giving my home town a purging. Tears were puddling and I thought is there no end, my interrupted rest was at God’s urging? ...

Premium Member GUARDIAN OF THE NIGHT- POTD
A wild unpredictable stormy night Harsh wind squeals through window panes Random deafening claps of thunder Lightning illuminates the night sky again Disgruntled angry waves crash loudly Heavy rain pounds on the roofs slate tiles Mother nature is enraged tonight Unrelenting , unforgiving , hostile Inside the walls of the old stone cottage A sacred wood fire blazes bright Radiating great warmth and infinite...

Skies of gray Skies of gloom Storm clouds say Bringing doom Dark steel day Blustering winds Turmoil cloud Sleeting sends Hail stones loud Dark steel day Storm surrounds Gale force wind Beating down Without end Dark steel day Icy air Breath of steam No despair Just winter’s dream Dark steel day Storms they rise Then they go No surprise If you know Dark steel day Dark steel days ahead and behind Dark steel days on my mind Dark steel days good and...

Premium Member Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
It begins with a sky-split cry— a blade of wind slicing the stillness, gulls scattering like torn pages as the sea holds its breath. Then comes the first thunderstroke, not from clouds, but from below— the ocean remembering its anger. The sea begins to speak in tongues— lightning dances across the waves. The ocean surges, climbs the wind, rising in spiraled towers of spray— a mind...

Storm
There is a storm in the atmosphere, Its raging winds bring waves of fear. When your footing starts to slip, Hold to the covenant - don’t lose your grip. Grab ahold, don’t hesitate, The One who's sure-footed is never late. In the chaos, find that one Word so true, Rediscover the Phrase that strengthens you. Take that Word into the storm, Make the enemy...
