Gentle breezes become wild and untamed
Lightning flash dances, pirouetting,
clogging across billowing, rain laden clouds
The rhythmatic, rolling thunder crescendos ever closer
A deluge approaches
The cadence of raindrops’ accelerating tempo
morphs into sharp, staccato beats upon her psyche
Fearing sleep...
fearing her dreams...
she remains on guard
As the internal storm rages on.

ack. hope she gets some sleep...
and the rainbows shine on clear skies inside...nice 55 polly.
Even though I just woke up, after reading that, I feel tired and cranky.
Excellent portrayal of the internal landscape. Lull her to sleep, as Brian mentioned.
Joy always,
Susan
P. S: I learnt new words through this post. Every line seems to have one!
Interesting Hun! An internal storm? Gentlemen (and women), start your metaphors!
Perfect 55! I was thinking how much I enjoy the tempest brewing and was caught up short learning this was internal. Not one of the storms I enjoy.
The nice thing about storms is that everything is squeaky clean right after!
lovely capture of story moments.
beautiful 55.
I love storms...well the ones from mother nature, the ones inside me, not so much

Oh I'd be up awake looking at the rainy and stormy sky! Just love it! Wonderful post btw, where did you get all this ideas to write it?! Awesome!
External storms invite sleep to come. The internal ones chase sleep away. But both can leave rainbows in their wake. I hope you see your rainbow soon.
It's funny, so many 55's this week are either steamy hot or rainy cold. (Must be the weather!)
Love the imagery in this one! :)
I love the images. I sleep very well during thunder storms but my dreams exhaust me every night.
Awesome, was not expecting the ending. Really nice!
outer storms seem easier to handle than inner ones - why is that?
nice 55!
Inner storms well described. Love this 55. Thanks for coming by mine. Visitors are always appreciated.
WOW...very well told and great description of our inner demons. I love this. Excellent 55 my friend. Have a wonderful Friday :)
Hey Polly, That was a good one!
Hope your summer is going well. jj
Polly...
Theres a lot going on here young Lady. Much more than a few rain drops.
Most excellent 55 My Friend.
Wonderfully played...Have a Kick Ass Week-End...G

This 55 speaks to me...loud & clear. Nicely written.

I love how you shift from a storm to the internal storm. Very nicely done.

I hope that internal sunshine and calm skies replace those storms. You really should see about getting published, somewhere.
Love you, sweetie.
Rain Rain go away,
bring me some sleep so I may snore away!!
I'm really feeling this one as the rain pours down outside.
Mine’s here.
Oh my, how could I have missed this one!
Awesome 55, Polly! :)
