Overlooking the valley
away from the camper’s milieu
I sipped fizzy mineral water
smiling as a thunderstorm grew
At this high altitude
where the air is thin
a meddlesome fog called
drawing me in
Joining the cloud
feeling its rainy tears
swept up in the angst
all emotions in gear
Loud thunder
with lightening strikes
expressing anger
and other dislikes
The fury of the wind
bending the trees
stretching emotions to the limits
wanting to be free
Drizzling now
spirit calming down
color returning to normal
no longer looking like a clown
Returning to the camp
a rainbow in the sky
peaceful by the campfire
happy and warm in the nigh

Beautiful images today in your words Debbie! Hoping your day is awesome, just like you are! Xo
Thank you for your kind words. I hope that your day is awesome as well. Please take care. Thanks for reading.
I got caught on the open water, with my Dad, in a fifteen foot aluminum flat bottom boat, as a clear and sunny afternoon turned black. We were in Arkansas, in the White River Bottom. We encountered an overwhelming amount of wind and rain, thunder and lightning, for a solid hour, before making it back to camp. So many points of recall, and you just brought them all home, Debbie. 🙂
Thank you. Wow! What an adventure. I know that may have been frightening at the time and I am happy that you and your Dad made it safely back to shore. Now it’s a fun story to be shared. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day!
