wind rushes through the eaves and cracks-- God's blowin' on the harp tonight-- watch this train roll down the track... bending branches in the trees cymbals crash in lightnin' time on a crusty old windchime sparks of blue and then green flare The ritual of lighting lamps to greet the eyes of silent stare glass bends in frames made loose. Sheets of rain in slant of pound cease suddenly--as if on cue. each contraction less forgiving and always echoes of the thought: "Will the levee hold the river?" at Elements' command-- when comes that thing--surprising me-- that only silence understands. balmy sweet tranquility for there within the eye of storm-- dances serenity. |

Nice poem. At least it won't be no catergory 3 hurricane. Tropical Storm is bad enough. Cold hands means a warm heart |

The only hurricane that ever reached New Hampshire was Gloria. It was still considered a hurricane, but I just remember lots of thunder and lightning and wind and rain, and the eye when you can walk outside into the musk and quiet before the storm slams through again. 1986, I think. One time I was on the road during a tropical DEPRESSION (one grade lower than tropical storm), and it almost blew me off the road. The rain was tremendous. Like trying to drive through a slowly filling lake, under a waterfall. Anyway, I loved this poem. Please publish. The world needs words like these. You're talent personified. |

  (big hugggsssssss) Yes, I love storms so very much, I just don't like it when they cause destruction but truly storms are beautiful to me and deep within the eye of a hurricane is that surreal serenity! (sigh) Take care and stay safe today, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Wow... that was beautiful. I just enjoy sitting inside and listening to the rain beat on the roof. It rains often and hard here, so we get huge downpours a lot. I love to wake up in the middle of the night and hear the rain on the roof.  I don't like getting wet.  Kielo |

Serenity Blaze, you have written a wonderful portrayal of a storm. One that could be used to describe many different situations. I love it! Hey dog, did you see the size of that chicken!? |

I'm located in a very high area (naturally, chuckle) Thank you all for reading and your kind concern. But? time for me to unplug.... and? Anybody hear from Temptress? She's in Gulfport... Check in with you all later, power allowing.... Later! |

Karen, I'm glad you like it! I found it in my pile of photos. I took the picture and it's actually my eye.  ~Sheri "Don't wait for your ship to come in ... Swim out to it" [This message has been edited by Irie (09-26-2002 03:55 PM).] |

Irie? that is too cool...gotta LEARN this stuff! and just came back to add, this particular song has been running through my head for three days now: Louisiana 1927 by Randy Newman "What has happened down here is the wind have changed Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain Rained real hard and rained for a real long time Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline The river rose all day The river rose all night Some people got lost in the flood Some people got away alright The river have busted through cleard down to Plaquemines Six feet of water in the streets of Evangelne CHORUS Louisiana, Louisiana They're tyrin' to wash us away They're tryin' to wash us away Louisiana, Louisiana They're tryin' to wash us away They're tryin' to wash us away..." sighs Thanks all... And we'll be okay. They don't call the coon-ass stubborn for nuttin'! |
