spectacular acts

the wind whips
the night to frenzy
my mind finds
a gentle peace
in its anger

I am eye to eye
with natures beast
she will win,
but I feel not fear

energized in the
height of her howls,
vibrating with the
strength of her breath

a fence post flies
to the shop
as the night
turns into chaos

and I have front row seats
to the biggest show on earth,
as I watch the creation of awe

I felt fear and calm at the same time

Storms scare me, so I felt somewhat afraid, but also felt the "serenity" behind your eyes, watching it. Love always, Jhena

Lately we have been having some good wind here in Utah, and all I can say is it would be great if it didn't blow off my hat, as I walk down the street jamming to my music.

Awe, awe, so full of awe at nature's powers.

Ann of Norway "but I feel not fear".....do you need not when no might do? "a fence post flies 
to the shop 
as the night turns into chaos" I like the flying fence posts, oh couldn't you be inspired to write another one, one more, with that type of theme the flying fence posts among other things all tumbling about making your glorious chaos? I like this one Jayne love to you from Ann.
