Distant Is The Thunder ~*Marge Tindal*~  I feel a distant thunder reverberate across the hills Shaking the ground - around as the storms of me stand still I feel the air in tremor Slow-rumble sends me down to look across the meadow for the electric of this sound I shiver in the chill of October stormy skies The thunder overtakes me as it opens up and cries ~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I shiver in the chill of October stormy skies A storm in the fall has always felt odd to me. Storms are for warmer days. And this can only mean that winter is way too close. A different part of the season well captured, Marge. Thanks. |

I feel like I'm following Duncan around tonight.  Another good one from Lady Marge. We sometimes have lightening thunderstorms up here, but mostly in summer or late spring. We already have winter...it's going down to ZERO Friday, just barely above that now. BRR..you may find me on your doorsteps by January's deepfreeze. |

Duncan~ Thanks ... I know just what you mean~ Appreciate the read. It's hard to explain ... but this one is really just a metaphorical 'feeling' about a friend that came my way~ I grabbed the thought and ran with it~ Hope that's not too confusing~ MidniteSun~ ZERO ???  ZERO ! ! ! Girl, ain't NO WAY you'd catch this little Injun in that kind of weather ! You should have left for Florida last week ! ! Well, after 'thanks for the read' ... next comes STAY WARM ... but, but ... ZERO ? *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I shiver in the chill of October stormy skies The thunder overtakes me as it opens up and cries ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just as the seasons change, our lives move with it. There's much rumbling in the heavens these days, and for many a reason. Hugs, Deb |

Sometimes we cannot stop the storm, but must in turn learn to accept the thunder and use it for strength and growth. You already know that this one hits solid just from ... well, you know. Way cool "injun" ya are my dear friend. ge gv yuhi!!!! |

I couldn't reply to this one immediately... though it gripped me from the first word. *S* This summer has brought a fear of storms to me I can't seem to shake... Instead of appreciating nature's power, I seek shelter and peace and sleep through the night. *S* As always, you make me think, Marge... and though thinking is dangerous territory for this blonde, it's high compliment to the poet. *S* |

Marge- This touched deeply, my friend. I could feel the unsettling thunder as I read. It's no surprise that YOU would know when a storm is brewing in the life of a friend. No one can read a heart's weather report like you can. Love and hugs, ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, |
