The clouds gather, droplets of rain begin to fall. A toy is thrown and the sky blackens.
It’s mild at first, a shout and a scream. A prelude to the main event.
And then the thunder crashes around us.
Each bolt of lightning smashes down, scattering crayons and books, wooden bricks and teddy bears. The storm rages. There’s nothing to do but take cover in a corner, hoping a stray burst of electricity doesn’t set anything nearby alight.
It’s loud. So loud. The rains roar as the thunder drums. Each burst more violent than the next.
Everything is red and black.
Then, just as quickly as it started, the clouds disperse. A rainbow appears.
It’s once more safe to snuggle on the sofa and watch CBeebies. Spent.
Bad weather?
Terribly.
Such a great analogy. Hopefully those storms you’re having are few and far between!
Alas, they’re far too regular for my liking!
Amazing how quickly those storms blow over though isn’t it?
And amazing what destruction they can leave in their wake!
Your words are gorgeous, but my eyes keep returning to that photo. It’s so incredible we live in a world where these things occur naturally–and, of course, where snuggles exist!
It’s a great photo isn’t it? Perfectly sums up what was happening in my living room yesterday afternoon…
I love this as the turbulent moods of our little Ones but how quickly those rainbows appear and the snuggles that follow are magical!
It’s true, the peace at the end of the storm seems far sweeter.
Cor, that’s cleverly done!. Sounds like me raging at my children. And I love the cloud pic.
Those clouds should be scary but the look so beautiful. I hear you and CBeebies.
