THE ROAR OF THE STORM

and the lightning strikes

And the lightning strikes

The dark clouds are passing overhead now.

The sky’s no longer blue.

The wind has started blowing fiercely.

And, there’s thunder and lightning, too.

I sit here waiting for the rain

Which has not yet begun to fall.

I hope the roar of the approaching storm

Doesn’t all the rain to stall.

Ah! Blessed relief, here comes the rain,

In such s violent downpour –

We needed the rain more than you know,

So I’m hoping we’ll get an inch, hopefully more.

I am a 79-year old grandmother who loves to write, fish, and grab my camera to capture the beautiful scenery I see around me.

My husband and I found our paradise in Punta Gorda Florida where the weather always keeps us guessing.
