I look up to the sky
And there on the horizon
Black clouds I see
Coming towards me.
From them streaks of light,
Fire to the ground,
Lighting up all around.
The clouds and fire
Come closer.
The magnificent furore
So beautiful in its power.
The light shows my world
In all its glory.
The thunder like a loud bass drum
Showing the wonder of nature’s symphony,
Nature at its most powerful.
Yet its beauty is there,
Is there to behold.
The clouds and light move on,
The storm passes
And once more quietness returns
Where the rest of nature’s world
Can be heard in all its harmony.

- Comment from author about the poem: A storm passed over us last night and these words came this morning. The music is "In the Steppes of Central Asia" by Borodin a very beautiful piece combining two styles as they meet and move on.

"God is in his heaven, and all's right with the world." - A quote from Robert Browning. This came to mind when I read this. A beautiful incantation of nature's wondrous euphoria.
Thank you Nicholas, Nature is wonderful in all its guises.
One of my favourite pieces of music to go with a superb poem - thanks Andy.
Thank you Michael. It is a magnificent piece of music - not bad for a chemist!
Even without the video you have created a symphony of nature Andy! I love your storm! Then I played the video and recognized the most beautiful magical piece of music........... I love the aetherial ..... like Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade..........
Thank you Lorna, nature is wonderful.
At one time I was always playing Scheherazade but I havenāt played it in a while, I will have to resurrect it.
nature creates beautiful music.
It surely does.
A fine write, and fine furore you had there Gold.
Thank you Orchi, it certainly was furious.
Ahhhh ANDY The great Alexander Borodin ~ Chemist and Composer famous for his work on ALDEHYDES (RCHO) and the opera Prince Igor ! He is a favorite of mine because as a Professor of Chemistry his chosen sphere of research was Organic Synthesis which is my sphere also ! He is also famous for his string quartets ~ his music has a haunting natural quality ! In the 21st C I would contend that Scientists are the best educated People because we understand the Universe (Thanks to the late Professor Stephen Hawking) but also Art ~ Music and Literature & Poetry as well ! Love the cadence in your poem ~ delightful ! Yours Brian ~ Poet & fellow Scientist ! Please check my Tribute to HMQ ~ Thanks BRIAN
Thanks Brian.
Andy,
A beautiful and poignant write! We do need to see and hear lightning and thunder to appreciate natureās world in its quiet harmonious state! Listening to the music was so peaceful and magical!
