STORM IN FRANCE (2022 AUGUST)

The rain hammered down yesterday
I thought the sky would cave in
Trees swayed violently
And thunder roared, growled, echoed
Streaks of white lightning electrified
The black night skies
And the merciless wind struck
Unrelenting as it tossed randoms into the air
Their freedom now – to be lost, cast away
I watched on, protected inside
A sheet of thick glass, my defence
My heart beat a little faster
My mind, preoccupied with the power of nature, unleashed
Brought into sharp focus
The Lord of Life!
