I appreciate how you show whole spectrum of being a human. It comes with fear and pain and agony sometimes and like you said, there's nothing we can do but surrender to it.
Rea, your words thunder with both pain and beauty. The storm you describe feels like the way grief breaks open the sky inside us — unstoppable, unsoftened, and yet profoundly human. Thank you for putting the unspeakable into such vivid images.❤️
Beautiful. This reminds me that no matter what, somewhere, someone’s world is shattering, and that none of us are immune to hardship. We will all leave this earth having known pain and grief, and within that truth lies something deeply human that connects us all.
This reads like a beautiful song. 🌸🌸
Thank you, Luna. It was inspired by a song. <3

There’s nothing we could do….
A beautiful reflection…I love the wisdom we see in the clouds

Thank you for feeling my emotions, Dora. <3
Beautiful and powerful. It gave me chills, ominous, foreboding. The focus is intense.
Thank you for reacting to my words, Stephanie! <3

Pain and love connects us, Stephanie Marie. Thank you for commenting. <3
What truth. Your poem is just heartfelt. Sooo baie mooi.🍂🍁
Dankie, Brenda! <3 <3
A powerful piece of writing Rea. I read the poem completely differently.
The thunderstorm being described to me was a “mental implosion” being experienced by the individual.
Overwhelming and chaotic thoughts, emotions, and anxiety that leaves you feeling completely and utterly mentally and physically broken.
Which in my experience mirrors the destructive power of a real thunderstorm
It makes me happy when someone sees it from their perspective. Thank you, Mark!
Similarly, I guess, to how we can view other forms of art!
Beautiful.
Thank you, Louise! <3
