Changes of a storm

@Uootem

When lightening strikes..
there is a vividness... that illuminates the darkest skies
and fills the atmosphere with such power.

When the winds blow....
there is such a stalwart force... that moves even the immovable
and changes all perception of the presence of invisible influences.

When thunder roars across the landscape...
there is a certain acknowledgement... of things not seen but felt
that sweeps ones emotions with the sound that marches forth.

When the rains crash to the ground...
nothing can remain unchanged... for there is erosion and there is life-giving
that tears down the hardness of stones and brings for the softness of flora.

When the sunlight finds an escape...
and emerges from behind the cover of clouds... a rainbow appears
that reminds us of promises and of elusive hope.

The effects from the elements of a storm
cannot be adequately described... or fully understood unless it is experienced.
yet after the storm's passing there is a supernatural calm... something has changed.

And so it is for me

When I see you, or hear your voice,
or am near to you, or recall being in your presence -
there are changes in me... and a supernatural calm... that I must write about.
