A Young Storm
by James Shammas (Age: 44)
copyright 04-27-2005


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
There was lots of lightning and little rain,
Lying with my son near an open window,
Spring wafting soiled scents like pheromones
Under noses of all kinds of little creatures,
Chris looking up like a plant bending toward the sun,

Exclaiming God must have made us all at once,
Beaming us down here at different times,
His heart resting hard between the beats;
That when we hug, our hearts are joined--
One great big beating one-- always beating...

When the rain started and the lightning stopped,
His face shone like the whitest sun,
Asking if he would grow brighter and bolder,
Smarter, older. But he couldn't hear my anwser--
The muffled chord over all the thunder,
Under all that pounded, under all that poured.

This brings back so many memories of when my kids were young. Whenever there was thunder and lightning, my kids would want every light in the house turned off, so they could watch the lightning lighting up every window.
Thanks for the memories.

These are the true good times to remember. The time spent with family can be so great. Unconditional love is a wonderful thing!Anthony
