The Calm Before The Storm
Calm
Everything was calm
Sand began to stick to my feet as I look back at my mom
We begin to walk towards the ocean taking in the salty air
Wind now blowing through my hair but nothing mattered in this chilled yet warm night
Even though covered by clouds of dark grey, beacons of light spilled out of the clouds
We waded into the cold ocean as if nothing mattered, and nothing did
The thunder rumbled above and made me scared like a kid
rain
Heavy
Hot
Wet
Came falling from the now dark sky
Lightning struck and I was now more soaked than before
Now cloaked in my wet towel I was running, fast.
Gravel sticking to the sand still stuck to my feet
All I wanted to do was fleet
Then suddenly I was in my car
Which wasn’t far
And all was
Calm, once again.
