Thunder blossoms gorgeously above our heads,
Great, hollow, bell-like flowers,
Rumbling in the wind,
Stretching clappers to strike our ears . . .
Full-lipped flowers
Bitten by the sun
Bleeding rain
Dripping rain like golden honey—
And the sweet earth flying from the thunder.
The sky has given over its bitterness. Out of the dark change all day long rain falls and falls as if it would never end. Still the snow keeps its hold on the ground. But water, water from a thousand runnels! It collects swiftly, dappled with black cuts a way for itself through green ice in the gutters. Drop after drop it falls from the withered grass-stems of the overhanging embankment.
The sky, above us here, is open again.
The sun comes hotter, and the shingles steam.
The trees are done with dripping, and the hens
Bustle among bright pools to pick and drink. . . .
But east and south are black with speeding storm.
That thunder, low and far, remembering nothing,
Gathers a new world under it and growls,
Worries, strikes, and is gone. Children at windows
Cry at the rain, it pours so heavily down,
Drifting across the yard till the sheds are grey. . . .
A county father on, the wind is all—
A swift dark wind that turns the maples pale,
Ruffles the hay, and spreads the swallows’ wings.
Horses, suddenly restless, are unhitched,
And men, with glances upward, hurry in;
Their overalls blow full and cool; they shout;
Soon they will lie in barns and laugh at the lightning. . . .
Another county yet, and the sky is still;
The air is fainting; women sit with fans
And wonder when a rain will come that way.
You crash over the trees,
you crack the live branch—
the branch is white,
the green crushed,
each leaf is rent like split wood.
You burden the trees
with black drops,
you swirl and crash—
you have broken off a weighted leaf
in the wind,
it is hurled out,
whirls up and sinks,
a green stone.
A storm, fierce and unyielding—
whirling with purpose, relentless in motion.
The chaos of winds, the power of thunder,
a force untamed, reshaping the world.
Yet even within the tempest,
there's calm at the center—
a place of quiet strength,
where clarity reigns amid the turmoil.
Yes, I am the storm.
What shall we stir up today?
Beneath the surface, silent, deep,
A restless force began to creep.
No warning spoke, no signs revealed,
The strength within, long concealed.
The skies grew dark, the winds awoke,
Through shattered calm, the silence broke.
Lightning danced, both fierce and wild,
A fury born from pain exiled.
The storm was rage, the storm was fire,
A rising tide, a heart's desire.
To break the chains, to cast away,
The weight that held the light at bay.
It tore through fear, it crushed the lies,
A force that couldn’t compromise.
The rain came down, a cleansing stream,
To clear the path, to birth the dream.
When all was done, the storm stood still,
Its echoes carried by sheer will.
And in its wake, a truth was shown:
The storm unleashed was strength unknown.
No longer bound, no longer tamed,
The soul, reborn, the power claimed.
For storms don’t fall; they rise, they teach—
And life begins when storms unleash.
Unleash the Storm
Beneath the quiet of the sky,
A power sleeps, a force runs high.
Silent whispers, strength untold,
A tempest brewing fierce and bold.
You are the lightning, sharp and bright,
The thunder rolling through the night.
No chains can bind, no walls restrain,
A storm awakened won’t be tamed.
Unleash the fury, let it roar,
Break the barriers, soar and soar.
The winds will howl, the rain will cry,
But from the chaos, you will rise.
For storms don’t bow, they don’t retreat,
They carve their path, they can’t be beat.
In every gale, in every strike,
Lives the will to claim the fight.
So let the storm inside you rage,
Turn the tide, and set the stage.
The world will know, it can’t ignore—
Your power unleashed, forever more.
Deep in the silence, a rumble grows,
A restless force that no one knows.
The air grows thick, the sky turns gray,
The storm is coming; it won’t delay.
It starts as whispers, soft and low,
A tremor where the shadows grow.
But whispers swell to a mighty cry,
As winds erupt and clouds collide.
Lightning flashes, sharp and bright,
A fiery dance that splits the night.
The thunder roars, a battle drum,
Announcing to all: the storm has come.
It tears through doubt, it shreds the air,
A force unleashed, beyond compare.
No fear can bind, no walls constrain,
The storm is freedom, wild and untamed.
The rains may pour, the skies may weep,
But through the chaos, a promise keeps:
That from the wreckage, new life will bloom,
A world reborn from the storm’s own womb.
So unleash the storm, let it be known,
The power is yours, the seeds are sown.
In every clash, in every wave,
The storm unbound is the storm that saves.
The bottle whispered, soft and sweet,
A refuge found in false retreat.
Each sip a lie, each drink a chain,
A fleeting balm for endless pain.
But deep within, the thunder stirred,
A quiet voice, a hopeful word.
“No more,” it growled, a steady drum,
“The time has come, the storm must come.”
The winds of doubt began to howl,
The lightning struck, defying the foul.
The battle raged inside his chest,
A fight for freedom, a quest for rest.
The rain of tears poured down his face,
Washing guilt, regret, disgrace.
Through every crack, through every scar,
The storm revealed who we truly are.
The tempest roared, but not with rage—
It turned the page, unlocked the cage.
The bottle shattered, the chains undone,
The war was fought, and he had won.
Now calm prevails where chaos reigned,
The skies are clear, the soul regained.
The storm unleashed was not despair,
But power rising, bold and rare.
For in the winds of change we find,
The strength to leave the past behind.
And from the storm, the truth is known:
In breaking free, we’ve truly grown.
They call him grumpy, harsh, and cold,
A man whose heart is hard and old.
With furrowed brow and quiet air,
They say he simply doesn’t care.
He walks alone, his head held high,
A stormy shadow in the sky.
But deep within, a light does gleam,
A steady glow, a quiet dream.
For joy is not a noisy shout,
It’s something he can’t talk about.
It’s in the sunrise he admires,
The crackling warmth of evening fires.
It’s in the stray dog he once fed,
The flowers he plants, the books he’s read.
It’s in the stars he watches bright,
The whispered songs of the peaceful night.
His smile is rare, his laughter shy,
It’s easy for the world to deny.
But if they’d pause, take time to see,
They’d find a man as kind as free.
He loves the world in his own way,
Though words are few, his heart will stay.
For joy, to him, is quiet, true,
A steady pulse in all he’ll do.
So let them think he’s grumpy still,
He’ll watch the sunrise on the hill.
Content to live, misunderstood,
A happy man, both wise and good.
When skies grow dark, and winds arise,
The tempest roars, and silence dies.
The seas may churn, the waves may thrash,
And dreams lie broken in the crash.
But storms, though fierce, will always fade,
The light returns where shadows laid.
The thunder’s voice may shake your ground,
Yet strength within can still be found.
For every cloud that steals the blue,
Holds hidden lessons meant for you.
Each gust that bends, but does not break,
Becomes the strength you’ll one day take.
So stand, though soaked in rain and doubt,
Let storms reveal what you’re about.
For when the winds at last subside,
You’ll find yourself—refined, alive.
Through restless winds and crashing waves,
He wandered lost in shadowed caves.
His heart a ship, adrift, alone,
A stormy sea he’d always known.
But then she came, with light so still,
A gentle force, a quiet will.
Her voice, a balm, so soft, so true,
Turned skies once gray to endless blue.
Her touch, the calm that stilled his mind,
Her gaze, a peace he’d longed to find.
She anchored him with love’s embrace,
And chaos faded, left no trace.
She was the sun when all seemed night,
The dawn that brought his soul to light.
No words, no storms could tear apart,
The haven she had built—his heart.
For in her arms, the winds grew kind,
And there, at last, he’d peace to find.
A man once lost, now safe and warm—
She was the calm within his storm.
