It Passed.
Lulled by the hum of wheels I was nearly
asleep when the storm broke.
Hard rain thrummed on the windows as
dark country slid by unfocused.
Skirting the hill-tops where lightning hit
with quick jagged jabs
thunderous blast never sounded as fierce.
Water sluiced windscreens batting wipers
but she continued driving.
However it passed and sunrise suddenly
re-lit our wearied eyes.
Steam begot rainbows and as miles left
behind logged no regret
hope bred smiles by the time we arrived.

Beautiful write as expected Fay.
Thanks FAY ~ when I saw the picture I thought t was going to be about the dreaded MOT ! In my experience of car driving (15 years) while there is often a CALM before the Storm ~ I know there is always one afterwards ! My worst experience was driving in the Lake District when the rain was so heavy it blurred vision ! We had to pull into a lay-by til it abated ! Then the Sun came out ~ but we were made aware of how steep the drops were on the driving side ~ scary ! Thanks for sharing a lovely poem on a scary situation ~ Loved the visual ~ Please check my ROSES ~ BRIAN
Another accomplished special Fay.
A fine write Fay.
A very nice piece of poetry with fantastic imagery!
