Thunder and Lightning
Fateblack clouds over my life’s tristesse
Monotomy frustration and loneliness
Silence hangs oppressive in the air
Turning my suffering into despair
Nature holds its breath, it’s getting dark
No bird sings, no wolf howls, no dog barks
It’s calm as in the beginning of creation
Life waits under the spell of expectation
Finally, the suspense is broken
As if magic words had been spoken
A flash of lightning darts through the night
Bringing back the vision of delight
In my life you are this lightning
A thunderstorm of enlightening
On my life’s horizon a silver lining
A ray of hope, bright and shining
With your sharp, deeply thinking mind
Your nature, always helpful and kind
hared dreams and inner knowing
A joint journey of spiritual growing
You have rekindled the fire within me
And made me feel respected and free
Though we live miles and miles apart
You are deeply rooted in my heart
Well that’s simply beautiful.

Thank you so much for your kind words and appreciation, dear Peter!
Beyond being so very literate, this poem simply glows with passion and gratitude. It gives me hope in humanity that such a person as you lives on the same beloved Earth as I. I feel very glad that you have experienced this and that I have at least a remote connection to your very special being, dear Elke. Warmly, Jim
Your warm words make me blush, dear Jim! I am just an ordinary person like anyone else. We all belong to the human species. We were born on this planet in different appearance and with different attitudes. We should support one another instead of bringing us down and fighting us. Thanks a lot for your gracious comment!
Absolutely – we are all artists and we all deserve love. 🙏💖
There is a universe of emotion packed into this poem. When connection is made, miles mean nothing. Beautiful, Elke
My deepest gratitude for your kind comment, dear Willow! A soul connection doesn’t depend on time or distance.
