Eternal Storm

by Lindsey   Jun 19, 2008


In the midst of storm is a battle unfurled,
Listen closely and watch the story told in the swirl.

In the sky Lightning dances, in bright twisting streaks.
Thunder roars right behind it, for Lightning it shrieks.

Lightning strikes brightly, livid veins in the heavens.
Frustrations set free in a spilt powerful vision.

Thunder boasts proudly and all mortals stand down.
For no wise other creature dares compete with his sound.

While the tempest rages on, in great wars in the sky,
Rain steadily beats, an opposing lullaby.

Lightning contends with Thunder in on going defiance,
Neither one suggesting a resolving alliance.

Despite how they argue, always and forever,
They go hand in hand. Eternally together.

    First of all, I love the title. "Eternal Storm" Something that lasts forever, I personally like it when it rains, or when it storms. the sound of the water, is so calming and peaceful to me. Just like the sound of a waterfall.

    "In the midst of storm is a battle unfurled,
    Listen closely and watch the story told in the swirl."

    Description, I like how your in a way hiding it. The sound of the wind, your using different words to describe it and not exactly saying up front to the reader what it is but silently telling us, so we think.

    "In the sky Lightning dances, in bright twisting streaks.
    Thunder roars right behind it, for Lightning it shrieks"

    Two of the most common things in a storm, put together with beautiful words. Great stanza.

    "While the tempest rages on, in great wars in the sky,
    Rain steadily beats, an opposing lullaby"

    As I said, rain so calming so peaceful, "Lullaby" just the perfect word to use to describe the rain.

    "Despite how they argue, always and forever,
    They go hand in hand. Eternally together."

    Loved the ending. Saying that the storm is such a fight, so many sounds and sights, yet no matter how many times they fight they will always come together and stay together "always and forever" as you put it. great poem. I'm glad I read this!
