Stop and write about “you and the night sky” if you wish. Or you could [[a mind to meander|go back to where the river begins]].

### Ode to Storm
His electric stare
And booming voice
Anger brother Wind
Making him
Swish
And swirl
A torrent of water
Splashes from his
Darkened underbelly
Where his
Lightning eyes
Blink in the night
He screams and screeches
Instilling fear
Into Earth’s
Bountiful creatures
He searches
For those that hide
His chill
Crawling into their bones
He travels
Across Earth’s surface
Wreaking havoc
Wherever he touches
Brother Wind
The only rival
To Storm’s power
Wind pushes
And pushes
Until Storm
Gives in
And returns
To his Cloud siblings
Storm calms
Leaving a road
Of fallen trees
Floods
And fear
