Awoken By Thunder by ~JacquelynAnn:iconJacquelynAnn:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Nature > Fixed




I listen as the raging storm
Fills my heart and ears
Its beauty and its power
Brings me close to tears

I open up my window
So that I may watch as well
My fascination with this danger...
To hard to describe well

One fat rain drop wets the ground
It's followed by another;
Its job to refresh, and cool us down
And the ground to gently smother

Lightneing sparkles through the sky
Letting eyes devour
The beauty of its vengeful show
The beauty, and, the power

The greatest gifts of storms like this
-Though their visists may be brief -
Is the sense of awe and wonder
And, strangely, of relief

Its essence fills my heart
ANd its beauty fills my soul
It makes me feel I'm free, ALIVE
It does, for me,  console.

I was having a nice little nap when I suddenly heard this soft low murmur of thunder. NEedless to say I rolled over and got off my bed to open the window then lay back down and listened to the storm - contented, for the first time in a long time remembering the beauty of life.

How is it nature is always my saviour from melancholy :tears: its just SOOOO beautiful. :)

Now this I like, I have always loved the beauty and sheer power of nature, paticularly of storms. Mother nature somethimes likes to remind us just how small and frail we really are. To this poem I take off my hat and bow, you have captured a piece of the world for us all to see.

I tried to do a poem of a storm once, and failed to to do it well... I lack the poetic skill. I may try again, the last few nights have been... Impressive. Bravo! I fav this.

You truly are to kind. I'm glad the poem worked out ok. I write many poems on storms but my dad saw this one after i'd finally fallen back asleep and he said " i hope you don't mind but i read the poem you left on your desk, its very nice".

Well what more can i say but i HAD to put it on DA after he said that. :hug: thankyou so much for the fav. :glomp:

You know there is a scientific reason why we feel good when storms come around?

The storm charges the air with ions, which excite our senses. You can most often get the feel of it just before a storm hits.

Other than that, this is a decent poem. Never has enough been said of nature.

I keep fooling myself that I have some poetic abilities...

Then I read another amazing piece of writing from you and my false confidence errodes rapidly. Amazing piece, though I have come to expect no less from you.

*late on reading*

As kick ass as the poem is, I have to run away, because I am deathly ceraunophobic (afraid of thunder and lightening).

*cough* That means ya did a good job with the imagery *cough* =P
