    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this quite a few years ago right before a giant thunderstorm, the colors of the flowers, trees, grass, and sky got sooooo vivid the darker it got, so it inspired me to write....

    Edge of Storm

    How I love the open windows
    Do not like it when they're closed
    Love the fresh breeze
    Swift as it flows
    Across my face
    Cool and sweet it blows
    My eyes drink
    Lush green with
    Purple pops
    Clouds drift in
    And fill the spots
    Where sky was clear
    Crisp and blue
    Grey now gathers
    Changes view
    A low and distant rumble
    Leaves me feeling humble
    Excited at the thought
    Of the first unyielding drops
    I feel it now approaching
    Closer now, I feel it closing
    In and all around
    I can hear the sound
    Of thick anticipation
    In the general vibration
    Of all that is found
    Between sky and ground
    Awaiting the arrival
    Of that which means survival
    Drops of Life
    Liquid Existence
    The light is concealed
    And it begins with
    An insistence
    A persistance
    Green and purple
    Intensify in color
    The dimmer the light
    The louder the thunder
    The lusher the depth
    I see in the colors
    A spectacular cleansing
    A release of Nature
    A sweet Earth bath
    Rejuvenation through saturation
    And the trees all feel refreshed
    All the stones are once anew
    The soil sighs for it is quenched
    The sky keeps changing view
    The thunder claps, rolls and rumbles
    Pops, snaps, growls and grumbles
    The vibration causes
    Shakes and quakes
    Feel the power
    When it breaks
    The atmosphere
    In deep low rumble
    Takes the air
    And makes it crumble
    Into sound
    All around
    Raindrops abound
    The air recharged
    Electrified
    The Planet drinks
    Satisfied
    And life expands
    And multiplies
    All that slumbers
    Will arise
    To see the world
    With fresh new eyes

    I'm so taken by your gift of expression trocka7. your thoughts are so visual they just draw me in every time. "Drops of Life Liquid Existence" there's magic in your words. you have a wonderful talent. another excellent choice for P.O.E.T.S

    My eyes were fresh and new from the experience of this creation of a journey with nature - I take so many of these mind walks myself and when left alone with the earth I always discover something new and wondrous. At first I thought that there should be some breaks in between for reflective pause, then I felt myself read faster down the page which has its own effect.. Write on - keep creating!
