Between the lightening strikes and the thunder voices Is a space in time When we hold our breath and use our listen ears. Raindrop eyes stare with searchlight lenses at the bruised skyline bandaged by clouds and rainbow tape. Patches of blue evoke feathered singing praise. While the ebbing storm's death rattle signals us - it's safe - to - breathe. . . . . . . Chris Barker May 1, 2003 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Chris, I loved this. Nothing like a good storm to take one's breath away. Patches of blue evoke feathered singing praise. While the ebbing storm's death rattle signals us - it's safe - to - breathe.

When we hold our breath and use our listen ears. How very beautiful! *S* I used to actually enjoy storms... Allison changed all that and for a long while, even rain rekindled the fears. *S* Wonderful write! *S* |
