Storm

Winds gusting ferociously
Debris flying in circles
Rain pounding the pavement
Resembling rivers flowing downhill
Clouds suddenly darken
Lighting striking
Illuminating the sky
The fury is terrifying
Then as quickly as it came
It was gone
The sky brightens
To the most beautiful shade of blue
Robust white clouds
Allowing rays of sunlight through
Calmness arises
As if the fury never took place
Just as life
Throws us storms
The calmness prevails
And washes away yesterday
For today is a new day
We made it through yesterdays storms

Be brave and know that there are Peeps living who have no electric power--ever. (But is ain't US!) Hope you can weather the storm AFTER the storm, as well as the storm itself!!!

Also I join Mr G-man in hoping you are back for "55".

PEACE! and we are praying for YOU!

I still have family in that area. My grandmother's summer place took some heavy hits, trees down, and the tiki bar from the dock is GONE. (Annapolis). Glad you and yours are ok. I can't imagine the DC area, in July, with no A/C. ( I lived there 1974-1983) Really liked your poem.
