Gives dawn to knowing the reason why
If this is not a show-stopping ending, then I do not know what is. The twisted use of 'dawn' after the opening of darkness emerging from light of day is inspired. Your use of language and your natural ability for poetic trickery have impressed me ever since we met, all thos centuries ago.
Love
James

Lines 5, 6, and 12 all caught me well and off-guard. I tried to pick a certain section, but it's so short, and the srengths are sprinkled throughout. (Kind of like an electric storm, eh?) You just generally have stunning word choice. I love watching the lightning, and I loved reading this.

49 Comments, what is left to say?? I witnessed many electrical storms when I was in the Far East and the magnificence of them has stayed with me. I really enjoyed this write as it took me back in time. Congrats too on a well deserved award, although belated.

"Cold hearted orb that rules the night. removes the colors from our sight. red is gray and yellow white. but we decide which is right. and which is an illusion..!"~Moody Blues~ I don't know why this just popped into my head as I read this...! I felt the quietness wrap around me like a blanket of lightning bolts..! You were right I did love this one..!

If I was to highlight the lines in this poem which are exquisite...I would have to quote the whole poem!
Your description of the wonderous changes in the natural world which take place before an electric storm leave me speechless!
Heat filled moisture rains silently down
Glides over skin as satin evening gown
How terribly, wonderfully beautiful and so full of pregnant expectation of the contrast between the almost "otherwordly" calm before the heavens open and once again we are reminded just how helpless we are in the face of nature unleashed! Another for my favs without a doubt!
In mutual love and awe of "storm power!"
