I’ve listened now
to low and distant thunder
as it growls slowly across prairie
and heard the soughing of wind
in tall grass and trees
with storms approaching
on legs of dark rain.

I have watched
the lightening strike
In jagged form the earth below
Or jump from cloud dark sides
To cloud dark sides,
And with hair prickled skin
Felt the tingle of each
Brilliant bolt.

Now I feel the rain,
In heavy drops,
begin to splatter
on my upturned face,
And turn to seek the shelter
Of open porch.

In furious chaotic sweeps
This storm attacks the landscape
And all I can think of,
Between gales of wind
And cacophonous rolls
Of thunder…
Is the storm you created
In my prairie heart.

Wow, into my library with this one, and you spoke to this prairie girl's heart, as I am originally from the praries, your images were fantastic on this one.
