A storm raged
as darkness covered the river
shouldering the responsibility
thoughts that made me shiver
A product of the soil
an avatar houses my spirit
a constant reminder
that I am only here to visit
Underwear wet
as the rain beats down
my swaying in the wind
looking like a clown
Looking in the water
a jar of artificial crab
so close to me
waiting to be grabbed
Frankenfood is not for me
choosing to eat what is real
fish swirling around
nipping at my heel
Lightening strikes the water
moving safely away
wildlife all around
as the trees continue to sway
The storm calms
as I capture the evening meal
my avatar is healthy
eating what is real

I feel the power of the passing storm. The ways energy affects the animals in the water of the beautiful relaxing Lake. I would love to live down be able to watch the storms roll overhead. Mesmerising well done.
Thank you. I often sit on my porch and watch the storms. Such powerful beauty. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day!
Me too, there’s nothing more relaxing then watching a storm.
I read your poem at dawn while waiting for the tail end of the cyclone to make land fall!
Oh my! I hope that all is well. Thank you for reading.
Yes, all is well!
Beautiful! ❤ Loved it! ❤
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
