Thunderstorm

I walk swiftly
cutting the wing
thunder growls in the distance
the rain whips my face
the clouds spread like ink
across the twilight sky

I run fast
lightning strikes
the sky illuminates
thunder explodes
the sand beneath my feet flies
and so do I

the dunes give no shelter to the everlasting shower
the sea crashes triumphantly against the shore
I sprint to my destination
with the determination to succeed
I dash madly down the hidden path
I reach the cabana just as the rain lets loose

I stay hidden form the angry sea
I escaped the danger of rising water
I am safe
I am dry
I am alive

The thunderstorm rages on
and I enjoy every minute of it
