Meet it Head OnOh How I love them and fear them at the same time.
By sitting on our front porch until the storm is done. Watching the lightning strikes and hearing the thunder roar. I can’t take my eyes off it as the winds begin to soar. Blowing like a colossal breeze that takes my breath away. I just keep sitting there watching the skies of a frightful grey. The supremacy that this storm holds could destroy any man. It dares you to keep on standing, while its strikes hit the land. But for some outlandish reason, I can’t take my eyes away. It holds me transfixed to the spot, daring me not to stay. The chills run up and down my spine each rumble that I hear. When the lightning strikes close by, the chills begin to sear. When it’s done and over, a tranquil feeling finds my soul. For the calm is so unnerving, and begins to take its toll. That storm took all the energy from every living thing. I can’t wait for the next storm, to see what it will bring.
