"Dancing in the rain is how we turn heartache into art."- unknown

whine, buzz, warped air
wet blanket heat
rumbling, skies tear
thundering, clouds meet
Dance in the rain without'a care

Thundering Cloud

Listen for the rumble
hear it roar
Retribution’s coming
from distant fjords

Your lack of judgment
and crass disdain
Will mark the sentence
its will proclaims

Feel the vibration
wake the hopeless
From their sleep
impassioned dreams

From the forest
to the ocean
Nature’s rage
— its verdict screams

(Dreamsleep: March, 2025)

Premium Memberthe thundering quiet

 

the slowing of life_
eyes stare beyond this world
oh, the last gasp ~
then, the silence
the thundering quiet
a loved person now becomes "the body"
the soul has left
a stone statue reposes
I weep ...
my grief forever to be

The Thundering Skies

Darkening clouds from overhead and darken the Earth
Crackle of lightning and thunder flash and I wonder how the weather can turn so quick. 
Mother Nature or God shows it's ugly head as rain comes pouring down in sheets.
A storm like this can bring much needed relief for the land but it also has its drawbacks

Premium MemberThundering Blunderbuss

Thundering Blunderbuss!
What is a platypus?
Looks like a beaver, but 
Has a duck's bill.

Fairly cute little guy,
Ornithorhynchidae*
Lives in Australia, is
On the no-kill.

Semi-aquatic and
Strangely neurotic, it
Lays eggs like birds and has
Venom like snakes.

Weirdly amphibious,
Bio-fluorescent fur
Webbing between the toes,
Strong swimmers make.

Thundering Thoughts

The thoughts
Swirl inside
Like a
Hurricane,
You are
Thrown all
About and
Forget who
You are
Lost in the
Wind, lost
To yourself
Inside, your
Mind is tumbling
Because of
The thoughts
That threaten
To break you
Down and never
Let go, to go
On and on until
You let go
It's a violent
Rollercoaster that
Has bars strapping
You down, keeping
You there in the
Whirling storm
The thoughts hit
You and burn you
And sting you
Keeping you down
Even when you
Want to get

The Body of Benevolence, With Thundering Virtue

Translation of an excerpt from the verse portion of Lotus Sutra, Chapter 25 (Avalokitesvara Chapter).

“…The body of benevolence, with thundering virtue, 
Compassion as boundless as the clouds, 
Raining down wisdom like ambrosia 
To extinguish the embers of anguish.
If one is ensnared in prosecutions, trials and
Tribunals, or trapped in horrifying wars, 
Invoke the strength of Avalokitesvara,

Rain and Snow

RAIN AND SNOW
I hear the sky thundering, 
And the clouds weeping, 
The clouds are draining sorrow and refilling joy 
While we all on the earth enjoy .
Now the clouds have gone and the sun is shining brightly,
And has the rainbow rightly.
Now it has gone and the clouds have come ,
But it did not rain.

Premium MemberThundering

A silence
Drawing
Drudging
Driving
Drumming
Drilling
Louder than
A drone
Rushing like a river
A mill
A power plant
In a hurry
Wild with fury
Roaring past
Resounding
Late for the 
End of time

Thundering Thoughts - Punny Poem

I know it’s shocking, and you’ll be like “Watt!?” but it’s true and i’m ex-static and you should be too. Light it sink in Faraday or two, don’t be so direct for there are alternative views. Let’s charge towards a higher current, and flow with The Field. Ohm not relatively speaking, we have to heal

Thundering Heard

I feel fairly lucky,
for where I am.
even yell out my name loudly,
for who I am.
so what! if I crave,
for a little attention.
I won't stop to rave,
though I won't have your affection.
not content at being the lightening,
and fade into the darkness later.
I want to be thundering,
heard after (I am gone).

In Sky's Thundering Heart

Within high airy clouds,
   No dust chokes the throat;
   Sails a white rising boat,
Far below dark shrouds
   Covers evil that gloats!

In sky's thundering heart,
   Upon a majestic throne;
   A soul weeps so alone
And prays for another start
   Not cutting in
