After the storm

A true to life event, a sensory poem where I attempt to convey my deep joy and emotion in a memorable moment I had with nature.

The atmosphere was electrified

from the intensity of the passing storm.

A light rain falling, so softly

like the petals of a rose

and the air smelled pristine

of new earth

fresh and clean.

The clouds were dark

and menacing

but lined in silver

as a white sun

broke through an opening

and shined it’s vivid light

upon the earth.

The raindrops reflected the light

and sparkled like white crystals

as it fell with such grace

from the heavens.

The shadows cast on the ground

were as of the night

of a full moon

accentuating and animating

every shrub and tree.

The contrast between

light and dark

was stark

but breathtaking in the

beauty of it’s harmony,

light and shadow creating together

a surreal and otherworldly scene.

And as I stood in the midst

of this natural wonder

I let my senses take over

letting them grow and reach out

as far out as they would go,..

and my soul was caught up

in admiration and surprise,

taken in absolute awe.

I was elated

wrapped up in a cocoon

of magic and reverie

as my mind, body and soul

answered mother nature

in her spectacular beauty.

I was helpless

to sound out a word

that would be sufficient enough

to convey the peace

and tranquility I was a part of,

so I gave myself over

to the sublime perfection

of the moment,

to the scene before my eyes.

And the instant I did this

I was lifted high in flight

on the wings of joy

soaring on a perpetual wave of bliss

that lasted until my head

rested upon my pillow

and sleep carried me away

with lovely dreams

in the night.
