They boil
toward our coast, with flashes of lightning to
illuminate the nightscape. The stars are slowly obliterated
and the wind picks up. Waves become louder and louder,
then the thunder comes echoing softly at first.
You count the seconds, wondering how far away it is.
Then the storm is here.
The tempo of the rain, the throb of the waves and the
boom of the thunder are exhilarating and oddly relaxing.
It feels good to be dry and warm, perhaps by a fireplace
at an inn, knowing that the world can wait now. There is
nothing that needs to be done.
Relax,
enjoy,
the sun will be back and all your plans will be back too.
