STILLNESS TO STILLNESS
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.
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.

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, my dear old freind a poet himself, Raymond Trowbridge was part of this inspiration.Poems entered on these pages are copyrighted by the authors who entered them.
