Storms

Photobucket

Storm clouds gather in a cobalt sky
Beneath a far-away world, gazing high
Embracing power of nature's force
Commence a journey of ancient course

Whipping winds cleanse the deepening doubt
Assembled force from within, without
Darkness surrounding gathering light
Face assaulted by blustering bite

Arms raised high in a soulful appeal
Summoning strength long thought unreal
Undisturbed, the storm passes by
Quiet electric a new heart held high

In crystal clarity, sublimely calm
Silently praised with cherished alms
Arched in beauty, promises new
Rainbow emerges in precious dew

Unvoiced praise escapes without a sound
Untold joys of inner peace abound
Timeless harmony one could only know
Of tempest storms and peaceful rainbow.

    Just beautifully written, with a sure voice and graceful, moving rhythm. You are really good. I'm new, so I apologize if I'm in the back of the appreciation bus, but man-this is a great poem. I wouldn't change a single word.

  • I really like the way you capture the unique/profound effect a storm can have on your being. I think everyone must feel this from time to time... but may not really register it. I do like the way you've "registered it" here ; )
    Lovely

    Congratulations

    Beautifully done. I love the mixture of the storm with the promise and hope of the rainbow. Tried to find a favorite part but couldn't pick one over another. It is all beautiful and flows so well.

  • beautiful.. absolutely beautiful. This is what I was looking for. Thanks for this entry, Iridessa

    The imagery is so powerful here throughout. The alliteration "blustering bite" is perfect, and the final two lines are serene and poignant. Absolutely stunning-best of luck in your contest, I doubt you will need it-this poem is perfect!

    I luv this.
    My fav part was the 3rd paragraph.
    Nothing sounded awkward.
    It was pure gold.
