Sometimes the storm outside,
mirrors the storm within,
and the release is everything.
Scorching hot
the sun leans heavy on the bones of the day,
dry days cracking the lips of the earth,
yet the air… thick
packed in humidity,
a silent sweat before the storm.
Heat waves shimmer like mirages of warning,
nature stretching,
flexing
summoning something ancient from the horizon.
Clouds gather.
Slow.
Dark.
Intense.
An intimidating dim dusk
folds the light into bruised silence.
Then
Winds blow wild sermons through the trees,
and suddenly
the sky cracks.
A violent hymn
heavy downpour drumming the dust into memory,
lightning stitching fire across the heavens,
thunder rolling its iron voice
through the ribs of the world.
Hailstones sharp as shaken truth.
Raindrops millions of urgent footsteps.
Ice-cold showers baptizing the burning ground.
Such is the paradox:
from blistering breath
to frozen mercy,
from suffocating stillness
to roaring release.
Nature does not whisper balance
she performs it.
Fierce.
Unapologetic.
Alive.
