Storm Clouds Gather

The storm clouds gather, dark and black on the horizon. Moving quickly, spitting hail and lightning. And Earth stops, holding her breath, Trying to ignore the churning in her stomach. The pain becomes too much to bear, And She turns, crying and gnashing her teeth. Then down comes the funnel, spinning and twirling; So strong that it tires in minutes. And the storm is gone, disappeared like frost on a window. So Earth breathes a sigh of relief. Glad that Her torture is over, She laughs, daring the storm to come back -------------------------------------------------------- Copyright © 1997 Crystal Keeley -------------------------------------- Taken last Friday night as the rain storm was starting to come in for the weekend. Dedicated to all the people affected by last weeks storms, and especially the people of Greensburg,Kansas.

After a bit of an absence, partly vacation but mostly tax season...busy for bookkeeping businesses... I'm glad to be back out here with at least 'some' regularity. I've missed everyone and am glad to have a little more time again.

This is quite a dramatic shot, Dan! The contrast between the lovely blue sky and the storm clouds is very intense. A really nice way to be thoughtful of those poor people. Quite honestly, I'd rather deal with a NE hurricane that lasts for hours than a tornado any day.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

I heard about the terrible weather you guys were having out there...Just don't send it here. It's an awful ordeal to have to go through and this is a fitting way to bring it to our attention, Dan.

Haven't you heard it rains a lot in Manchester UK! ;) ...and I was going to suggest that you start writing books reading your narrative, until I came to the author's name! lol! ....well after all that babbling, I can say it is an excellent capture of a moody sky! well done my friend!
