Natural Phenomenon  The thunder rolls across the valley heard is the approaching storm, winds steadily picking up the air is no longer warm. Flashes seen from lightening brilliant colors in the skies trees now bowing to the winds winds sing out their warning cries. I see the ominous storm lightening and thunder crashes the air now slowly chilling sending out angry lashes. The storms once high raging winds now slowly turns into calm, and once again earth has viewed a natural phenomenon. ©dmsmith If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

Keen observation put into a well constructed piece  Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

Interloper, I was watching a storm like this a few years ago and this was the resulting write. I came upon this picture at webshots and remembered this was tucked away......so alas......here it is. Thanks much! If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream... [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (09-17-2002 05:44 PM).] |

Your words work well with the picture, my friend... I love the storms...the only thing I don't like about them is that they make me turn off my computer! |

 (sigh) Oh Donna, this is sooooooo delightful, sweet friend, I love thunderstorms and the most blessing part of them all is the aftermath when God shines his lovely rainbow smile across the sky! (kiss on cheek) This is lovely, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

I love storms, the more ferocious, the better. This reminded me of a few weeks ago when I was taking pictures of lightning from an approaching storm. Know what? Don't ever be that dumb. LOL! It struck so close I thought I was gonna jump right out of my skin.  I enjoyed this, Donna. I especially like how you included the chilly air that a storm carries with it. *hugs* my friend. |
