    watching storms

     The lightning strikes
    flashes light across the sky.
    Opens my eyes, flickering
    in portions, then comes with sound.

    As thunder rolls
    the sound unfolds, rumbling
    slowly towards me, like waves
    of a tumultuous sea, untame,
    unceasing are my thoughts.

    The rain pours down. Falls heavily
    on cold ground, like a liquid
    curtain covering the view, washing
    all it touches.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
