Silence Before The Storm I stand watching as the gentle winds ripple tender blades of summer grass Flowing like waves upon quiet sea in endless rhythm cross the prairie Overcast sky paints only whiteness broken by dark lines at the edge Nature betrays the coming weather a growing silence before the storm Boiling black clouds advancing closer sending before them a raising wind Racing faster they build momentum tumbling across endless western sky With my hair whipping around my face I lift eyes to the darkening sky A jagged flash that lit the heavens touched deep within me a cord of awe As the thunder roared and lightning flashed I stood amazed by total power Just minutes before the air stood still a whispered silence before the storm Startime [This message has been edited by Startime55 (06-23-2003 08:32 PM).] |

Startime Your words have the ability to take the reader right there. I could feel the wind in my hair and could hear the sound of distant thunder. I hope all is well with you. Take care......Sue I am in motion |

Well Karen, August will be quite a month for you. This storm certainly raged there, but here, it was quiet as a church on Saturday... I felt like I was almost whisked away by this storm, and I am happy that you are well and were not. Quite happy in fact. So have a quiet day my friend.... (there is a hidden hint within this) |
