STILLNESS TO STILLNESS

Author: aware3

Smoky Grayness Hanging Low,
Breezes Now Began To Blow.
Quiet Coolness Filled the Air,
Lightning, Flashing Here and There.

Rumbling Skies Began to Roll,
Startling, Frightening To the Soul.
Turning Now a Forceful Way,
Wind Then Caused the Trees to Sway.

Then in Torrents Came the Rain,
Causing Too a Harsh Refrain.
Rain Then Stopped, the Wind Did Too,
Brillant Sunlight Now Breaks Through.

About this poem:
I wrote this poem, after witnessing a fairly violent rainstorm, the beauty of the silence, before and following it, and the awesome happenings of nature in between inspired me ! I wrote it in 1969, while expecting my 1st. child.

A wonderful poem, that opens ones mind into looking at natures storms in a more appreciative way and not one of such fright. Also, much like life and the storms we all go through and sooner or later, the sun does shine again. I enjoyed this poem. You have a beautiufl way with your words. Thank you for sharing. God Bless. Peace and Hugs!
