Summer Storm

Serenity settles in the oddest of moments

Stormy skies and howling wind,
I wonder if this is the end.
The  rain comes down in heavy sheets,
Where terror finally meets peace.
“Take me now,” I try to scream,
But the setting’s too serene.
While it’s harsh and cold outside,
My heart beats and I feel alive.
I breathe faster with every boom
Of thunder that can shake the room.
While hail pounds on the tortured glass
And raindrops drown the fresh cut grass
Then the storm ends as quickly as it came
And I’m left standing in the rain.

What a gorgeous experience. I can only imagine how that would feel. Such a dramatic transition of emotions. Heart pounding and refreshing.
A summer storm is a unique thing. You captured it, with a rhyme.
And such a nice ending! Another favorite! :D

I loved this! Powerful emotions stream through your words. I also like the rain, but am scared of lightning and thunder at the same time lol. Very nice piece. And welcome to WritersCafe!
