The Graceful Storm

The beauty of nature

has no specific thing

A storm

twisting and turning around its wake.

Even pulling away

some fat guy’s stake.

Sucking with greed

like a black hole,

like a raging troll.

It is so mesmerizing,

but also paralyzing, traumatizing.

O my!

But also,

graceful.

at its own pace.

The clouds rise above,

that’s when it comes!

The roaring thunder,

the brightening lightning!

You can just imagine it when the rain falls,

then you hear the sound of the storm,

it calls.

We could be afraid

because they’re big and different,

but that’s unique.

And I believe that

with every sentence.

The beauty of nature

has no specific thing,

but when you hear

sounds of the storms sing.
