What Happens when the Rain Stops?

A Poem by Sapphirefly

It poured

It streamed

It cracked itself back again

It howled as an animal

Where was I?

Under the branches

Protection

Of something

Seeming to hold me

Seeming to warm me

Seeming to show me

An unmatched grace

Found in the storm

The majesty rising

And screaming

My senses recognizing

The power in its wings

The freedom it possesses

And what possessed me

The life pounding

And screaming

In me

Aching with the pain

Of wanting to fly

But held back tightly

His whispers in my ear

Thunder breaks

Couldn’t listen

Simply nod

He turns me

Peers into my eyes

He sees me

I see lightning

Sees that too

He curses my lost attention

And lets me fall

Out of his arms
