Tempest
Far
At the edge of awareness
Low
A rumbling felt, but not heard
Deep
Why does my belly burn?
Closer
Just barely heard
Ghostly
Creeping over the horizon
Ominous
What can it mean?
Distant
Not yet threatening
Booming
Still far away
Doubtful
Surely this is not for me?
Nearer
Coming this way
Clouds
Filling the sky
Darkness
Where can I hide?
Approaching
Almost here
Thunder
Swelling over the hills
Fear
Is there no shelter?
Flashing
Bolts of light
Electric
More powerful than I
Exposed
How can this be happening?
Deafening
Rolling over the land
Strong
Commanding me
Wonder
What is this I feel?
Tumultuous
FIlling the air with sound
Surrender
Giving in to my fears
Shock
Is this who I am?
Rain
Drenching the earth
Cold
Trembling inside
Discovery
Why haven't I known this?
Mist
Cleansing showers
Pure
Washing over me
Contentment
How may this girl serve?
