Dear Storm

You are my best excuse,

to curl up on a couch

to be lazy and amused.

By movies and books,

and with one who is loved

giving me amused looks.

I love your grayness,

your solemn demeanor

your violent rumbles and flashes,

you make my soul stir 

frightened and disturbed

and at the same time 

safe and secure.

You roar and grumble

releasing your strength

but I regard your fury

as only a disquiet mumble.

You make me thoughtful and quiet

something not easily accomplished

I am content.

You lull me in my sleep

calmness overwhelms me.

You give me time,

comfort,

peace.

Which is ironic,

a contradiction.

But coming from a living contradiction,

it is the highest praise I can give.

Thank you.

Your words paint a beautiful and warm sensation when it comes to storms. They can be such a dichotomy as when you are inside, safe and secure, they are truly a spectacle to be witness of, while if your out within it's turbulent chaos, other feelings are felt.

Great Ink!

This is such a nice poem woven in a smart piece. I loved the way you described how a storm can be such a friend. More than that, I so agree with your words since I feel exactly safe and secure that the "best excuse,to curl up on a couch
to be lazy and amused... makes me content," giving me time, comfort and peace. A true good piece to read again and again.

I love this poem. I can totally relate to your point of view. Storms are full of wonderful, terrible power. It IS a contradiction; but an incredible one all the same. :)
As usual; great job!
