It must be so strange being right there after a storm like that. So surreal. I am just happy to know you are ok. Hugs-

In the aftermath the beast leaves his stench - a reminder of his possible return? x

Dagmar, I've missed your simplicity. Your writing has always touched me. <3

The title fits perfectly. You are no stranger to these storms.

Just a beautiful piece that details the calm after the storm.

There is something so unnerving about the calm after a storm. It can seem like the world has come to a stop. So glad you are ok. Lovely to read your poetry again. Milly x

The silence before the big storm...liked the simplicity of your words
and in just a few lines there is a heaviness and mystery...take care

This gave me chills!! It’s like living the words you describe, like I could feel the cold air crawling into my bones, and the smell of wet wood tingling my nose. Simple but beautiful.
