I’m in a world just now of silver-beaded windows and roaring winds; I cannot see the world outside - for all I know it might be some far-flung myth. There must have been some childhood time when sheltered, warm, I gazed outside to worlds obscured by pounding, puddling rain – I know! My mother said that when we heard the thunder sound, the angels scored a strike. The strike today – is very near. It’s let up, now, but still a busy world out there I see the trees as if through graying veils Imagine children elsewhere, gazing out at this… (The wardrobe’s witch in Narnia, with Aslan’s fiercest loving warmth – And Bilbo, yes! Our earliest complexities; our hopes and fears, personified. Look farther back and folk-tales darker than our Grimm recall Sparked imagination and an appetite for words that’s never left.) (This was written during a torrential rain. All I could hear was the drumming - and viewed the world only as if through a waterfall. You know - let the imagination play - and you never know what will happen..!) |

I really like the imagery in this - you did a very good job and the sound of this left an early-morning chill that one feels when just getting out from under the covers, just to see if the thunder really did bring the rain... |
