Storm Upon the Lake

All night long, I heard the pound
Of waves crashing and the ground
Seemed to tremble neath my bed,
Till I finally rose and sped
Outside to see the awesome sight
Of storm upon the lake, at night.

Great, ragged clouds were racing by.
The moon revealed her lucent eye
And in the wind that swooped and roared,
A thousand feral sounds were poured.
There was excitement everywhere.
A tumult of the earth and air.

I sat upon a rock, away,
From all the heavy splash and spray
And melded with the atmosphere,
To wait for daylight to appear.
Light and shadow patches played
Upon the water and they made
A world of unreality.
The only anchor there, was me!

You are an exception. Most women I know are afraid of violent storms. Your description is vivid and so real. Well done.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
