There’s a storm rolling in –

You can feel it all around.

With every second that passes

multiple elements are changing –

sources of energy being unleashed in a symphony of sound and light.

It is in the air –

so heavy and dense.

It envelops you like a warm, wet sponge.

The rumble of thunder in the distance moving ever closer –

The dark gray of angry clouds swiftly overtaking blue sky

creating ominous yet beautiful formations –

Films of soft gray playing with the flow of light from the setting sun

producing patterns of uniqueness that change with every second.

Oh, how I love the beauty before the storm!

The drama, the excitement, the anticipation…

It speaks to my spirit and sets me free!
