The Sun and the Storm

This one is for everyone that understands the duality of existence inherent in human nature.

She came like thunder

And/or

She came in like thunder

To my life.

Sweet like honey

Her love did overflow,

But in like thunder.

Brash.

Loud.

Sometimes frightening,

But not unexpected.

She was the warning

Of the impending storm;

Very much beyond the calm,

She was the storm.

Violent,

Flashy,

Wet,

Necessary.

Her existance was proof of a greater design,

And in my mind

I find

I loved the storm.

Loved.  Or love?

And just as sure as the sun rises and sets

The storm will return

And she will be there.

Neither the calm nor the storm,

She will be the clearing.

She will be the sun.

She is the sun now,

But the clouds of her storm

Hinder my view.

Uninvited, but not unanticipated.

Inconsistent, but uninterrupted.

She was reliable in her randomness.

Oh, the beauty in the rain!

The sun

And the bow.

Never mine to have

Only to behold.

How do you catch a storm?

How do you catch the sun?

As futile as it is

The chase continues,

Catching glimmers of hope

In measures of predictability.

The God from whom all gifts descend

Be praised

For He alone has created

The sun

And

The storm.

God
indulges our sense of awe and mesmerizes us with his handiwork...
yes " we women " are fearfully and wonderfully made....

a beautiful piece...I feel it could benefit from being broken into stanzas
and the " and/or thing throws off the liquid feel to it.

i always love a well placed query ....in this piece it evolves perfectly.
last stanza .....my fav
"flame of Joy " sent this...::: thanks Sis:::

The duality of nature, God, and 'woman'. Well done.

glimers - glimmers

This is a great write. Love the imagery of this.

But on a lighter side, it is a very nice way of saying she is bitchy. :) lol Just kidding. Good read.

It sounds like you met a woman that was predictably unpredictable....God indeed creates magnificent things.

...I see clear sky's ahead..
