Her words like a jagged lance
As she tears the world asunder
To give a shower of rain
A single sheet of lightning
Which sizzles all beneath her feet
Threatening my existence
How nature speaks my language
Fearsome power of her hello
What right mind would her engage?
But she and I are partners
For I love her gentle kisses
The scent of her morning breeze
To me she is number one
Always welcome here at my place
As she weeps for me alone
Back in the far far distance
Now a muffled roar of thunder
She's stomping across the plain

It's funny how some partnerships work. Sounds a tempestuous one!

ReplyDeleteIt is like each is there for the other but in parallel unreachable worlds..louded like a rain filled cloud fit to pour..

You worked those words in beautifully...and how else can we think of her, but as a companion in life, to ride the storms of life.
ReplyDeleteTo love nature for all her beauty and all her tempests is strong love for sure. It is good to be in partnership with nature. Nice use of the words.
ReplyDeleteI marvel that even in the warm summer rains the lightening bugs still blink in search of their friends. And yet their are the days when the sky rumbles that one wonders if they are the cause of the upset...or if the gods are just in bad humor.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you stopped by and enjoyed Sonja's journey. The widow has a some interesting new friends. :) And glad that you too are one of them!
