the destination
precipitation
a thousand clouds gather
murmuring silent thunders
I dare them touch me
happy to meet them
wherever
they send their spark
atop a cliff
on a sandy beach
beneath a tree
on a rocky outcrop
in the middle of a desert
or on an ice shelf
this pounding flesh
is but caged
behind the ribs
charred carbon
will be the result
but who cares
when the meeting
of the spark
'is' the destination.
afterthoughts
and results
won't find anyone alive
anyways!

I have read this four times now. I think I'll read it a few more as well. I really like this. I'm a storm nut anyway, but this is so beautifully written that I want to just submerge myself in it. :)

Awwe me dear friend Willows! Thank You so much... I'll confess something, if I wasn't here on DU, and also not surrounded by Poets like you, i would've never submitted this. I have , since childhood this fascination with storms and the lightning bolts.. drew numerous sketches on paper and other media of them.. call me a weirdo, I wouldn't bother but it is what it is..there in this work. I thank you sincerely for your such generous appreciation dear friend!!
kind regards

I live in the Tornado Belt here and storms are a regular occurrence. I've always been fascinated by them. It's like nature's fury at its finest and I'm in awe. I have a healthy respect for the deadly ones but I love to watch a good thunderstorm. Odds are, you'll find me parked on the front porch watching the lightning, getting soaked to the bone, face turned up to the sky...revelling in it! I will eat up any storm writing you generously share! :)

They're humans just like us...that's why you have empathy without knowing what they are, and I get this 'what' in your sentence.

Very beautiful. 💓
The words are pieced together, with such deep meaning behind them. Far beyond the rain, thunder and bolts.
Very lovely expression and imagery.

ughhh. what drives us into the storm? I don't know. The hope for existential truth? A guttural urge?
Whatever the provocation is may not matter at all. All I know is that this made me want to chase a storm.
Beautifully written.
