The Storm Clouds Gather
The Storm Clouds Gather, dark and dense, A tumult roars, the heavens tense, Lightning cracks the twilight’s veil, A furious dance, a tempest’s wail.
The sky ignites with electric fire, Each flash a fierce, consuming pyre, Thunder’s voice, a booming cry, Echoes through the bruised night sky.
Yet in the chaos, midst the rage, A fleeting light begins to wage, As torrents drench the world below, A secret promise starts to show.
The storm, though wild, begins to fade, Its fierce embrace now softly swayed, And through the tears of shattered rain, A ribbon forms, a hopeful chain.
Colors break through, soft and bright, A spectral arc against the night, A rainbow blooms, a quiet cheer, A bridge of peace in storm’s austere.
Have a wonderful weekend.

I love storms!
Whoa, those lightning photos are stellar!

The storm clouds gather, dark and dense
A tumult roars, the heavens tense
Lightning cracks the twilight’s veil, a
Furious dance—a tempest’s wail
Dark night burns electric fire
Each flash a consuming pyre
Thunder proclaims a booming cry
Echoing through the battered sky
Yet in the chaos ‘midst the rage
A fleeting light begins to wage
As torrents drench the world below
A secret promise starts to show
The squall though wild begins to fade
Its fierce embrace now softly swayed
And through the tears of shattered rain
A ribbon forms—a hopeful chain
Colors break forth—mellow and bright
A spectral arc against the night
A rainbow blooms! (In silent cheer)
A bridge of peace! From storm austere…
I like this, especially the thunders voice instead of thunder proclaims. 🙂

Superb photos. We rarely get those sort of storms where I live so it is good to see photos of them. I can almost feel my skin tingling.
Thank you James, yes spring time we get quite a few storms here.
Amazing photos. I love them. In awe with your lightening ones.
Thank you very much Liz, it is a challenge photographing lightning, but exciting when I get to see a strike clearly in the shot. ☺️
