Array ( [sid] => 801 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Dear Evening Storm [time] => 2002-07-20 14:41:34 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Each spasm of light covers the
shadows with its brilliant body,
awakening the angles of objects
once hidden in the dark.

Sending a new day from heaven,
a moment of violent light
interrupts the evening
and then it is gone.

Magnificent torrents of rain
are pelting down upon us.
We hear each miniscule object
answering its strength audibly,
releasing the railroad moan.

Charging to its home,
the earth accepts it.
Nothing else can she do.
Our eyes are blinded for
it strikes so suddenly.

The trees embrace each other.
They fear.
Survival provided but
at a high cost to their battered limbs.

Every crack of light
is urgent and separate.
Each definite in motion,
fierce, impatient, destructive.

Above this dramatic ensemble
cries of alarm are heard.
They urge us to sleep,
speaking in gravelly voices.
The storm is dear to us,
though we fear it.
It is kindred.

The storm envelopes us
in its bright grasp.
And it guides us by its simplicity.

The lovely, painful visitor
drives away and leaves in its wake
a new feeling of serenity
that before escaped us.

Dear Evening Storm

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
