Sometimes
~ Kuri

Sometimes
when the thunder roars
and lightning flashes
and rain pelts down on the earth
like something crazy,
I throw my head back
and stare up into the dome
of dark, swirling clouds that blanket the sun.

And sometimes
while the rain stings my face
and soaks my hair and skin
like a pail of iced water,
I drown in my own thoughts –
mesmerized by the intricate
beauty and dance of the shadowed sky.

And when the storm subsides
and the first ray of light pierces through
the blackened armor shielding the earth,
I feel reborn.
Because all my sorrows and worries
have been washed away
and everything will start anew.

Because the world has been cleansed.
