The stormA Poem by EvolutionManIt's been quiet here....at my favorite place. My toes buried deep within the sand accepting the forgotten comfort of a high tide. The air is thin and silent...drier than it should be...a pale comparison to its predicessor which inhabited this majestic place not so very long ago. I come here often , searching... hoping... willing the events to unfold. I rest patiently apon the shoreline day after day urning for a preview to what might come. I've only wittnessed it's wonders a handful of times, but each is etched in my memory like a diamond taking to glass.Never to be erased, never to be forgotten. I,...merely a spectator look apon what would be my theatre and marvel as it begins...My eyes closed, memories come to form... An explosion ensue's complimented by glorious veins of heavens lights. The skies become flourescent with brilliant cracks in the floor of heaven- Revealing marbeled textures...the gifted work of a craftsman. The electricity begins to move within me...surging with every strike of Titans bolts. Slow at first then quickening with the storm in perfect harmony. An invisible wave of force commands respect, swaying my existence to the course sand below as it paints my very being with the essence of the sea and all that it offers . Drenched and rejouvinated i remain firm of my decision to weather the storm. The world ahead climbs higher and higher...first ten feet and then thirty...no end is in site. The water stands apon itself as if being forced up from the bottom with intent to consume the skies. Such walls, such mass,such fearoscity could not be imagined as the water touched the soil in a violent coruption of wet and dry redefining the shoreline with every wave. I, as a man , stood my ground expecting the worst while hoping for the best while ...I, as a boy,eagerly waited for more chasing tears back with excitment. This is what i came here for,.......the perfect storm. My memories drift as reality begins to take over. Now i'm back, toes deep within the sand,the wind dry and unforgiving. To look at this place now, one would never guess that this is my favorite. They'd never be able to imagine the beauties or the horrors which occured here. They'd never understand why i always come back. You see, something's missing. Some element of mystic or wonder. Something powerful and perfect has left this place. It's strength is measured in it's ability to consume the elements and hyptonize my senses.Without it, i fear this place will never be the same. Never release me, never define me. Though i've tried, no replacement can be conjoured, no substitute is of caliber. No one thing can compare. My thoughts corrupt, my opinions governed,.......i'm left in your wake. For all things captured and all things ventured , none seem to compare to what i've discovered in you. You are my perfect storm,...so brilliant in your entrance,....so clumsy in your exit. The greatest show ever known. I remain here still,...searching.....hoping....willing the events to unfold. It's been so quiet here, in this perfect place. Will you ever return?
