The blinding light
Of the brightest ever sun
Suddenly shrouded
By a thick pall of impenetrable darkness.
A strange silence engulfs.
A sudden chill creeps in;
The wind begins to blow
Gently-wildly-ferociously,
Forming a dense screen of dust.
The wind gains momentum.
It sucks the dry leaves
Up towards the sky,
A greedy funnel forms;
The trees sashay to the rhythm.
The wind begins to howl.
A roaring thunder roars,
Alarms the mighty earth,
Rips it off its grave silence,
And shoves it into utter chaos.
A frightening darkness befalls.
Now, I can hear the sky
Shrieking with pain;
Thunder-bolt and lightening,
Now it breaks into rain.
A heavenly downpour.
The anger subsides;
Tears begin to flow;
Nature reconciles.
A cool breeze gently blows.
A curious sun peeps,
Spreading a bright smile;
Darkness evaporates.
The landscape dazzles again.

I have no words! It's the landscape come alive by your magical expression! I went through the whole turmoil and again gently traversed the gentle, reassuring shores! ! ! ! ! ! Bravo, Asma! !
nature's fury becomes more furious with your words -as if everything will be wiped off from the face of earth.but then there is reconciliation also...beautiful
I am not going to say anything that hasn't been said before about this wonderful work, but I would just like to add my voice to the throng! ! (Loved the line about the trees 'sashaying to the rhythm'...!) Good stuff - thanks. Jon.
