After the
tumultuous
rainstorms,
The peace and
soft fulfillment
of the moist earth
sinking lusciously
between my toes
and the partial returns
of my body
hints at pure bliss
of silence
after the thunderclap
of life~

excellent
Oh I so love watching thunderstorms if I am in a safe place . But what was the best part for me in this ....was the afterwords. Up to ths day , after a torrential downpour , I love running outside barefoot and splashing around in the puddles . No wonder hubby thinks I am nuts at times. But every once inawhile that inner child of mine just has to be set free
The pic with this was also beautiful. Thx for bringing me a happy memory

Oh this is beautifully succinct, sounds like you do some of the fun things I do. I love being barefoot after a rain myself.Oh I can't believe this but I am actually missing warm weather. It has been a really cold winter in Minnesota this year.

Excellent write here Susan!
Made me feel the warm spring rain!!!! ~Laura -
I love this poem; it reminds me of when I was a kid and thunderstorms came up; they were wonderful lightningh flashing and crashing through the sky and sometimes hitting the trees. I only ever remember being scared by lightning one time. That time the lightning was close enough that it gave a bit of a shock. I have a story about that. Maybe, I will post it sometime. I have had enough odd or unusual things happen to me in my life that I plan to write a book about them sometime soon.

This didn't really seem complete to me, It isn't exactly a beginning nor is it an ending, kind of like you just wrote from the middle.
A nice piece for what it is, but, I think it could be more.

Susan you have described a Queensland tropical storm. the build up is intense, the rain feels like a gift and then the smell of the rain and the wet ground is truly magical.
You have written this so beautifully.
