Natures Sound

 Natures Sound

Sensing the possible change in firmament. They quickly jotted out fearing for their own safety. They raced whilst nature painted its surface dark.

The surrounding smell and mood suddenly changed. Quickly they increased their pace with the feeling of sudden droplets of water touching their bodies. It seemed now apparent that the heavens had already given a warning and a sign of what was to come. Many instantly left their different activities and suddenly sought places of refugee or habitation from what was to become or to be. These four figures whilst they were in their course of seeking habitation literally continued to increase their pace as the sky’s started to even send a clearer message of the coming of what would seem like a renewal of mother earth. Several flashes of lightening illuminated the firmament followed by heavens sound, quite a loud rumbling sound of thunder and a further increase in tears from above and even further lashes of lighting. This race continued for some time and eventually light gave in to darkness. Two of the gentleman rushed and disappeared into the night whilst one of them and his sister managed to find refuge at some nearby shelter. Elements and different forces really seemed to have combined as if to give a sign. The wind became so fierce it would have blown away the weak. Eventually after what seemed as uncertain times at least for the duration of this thunder storm, it eventually calmed down and allowed us to return home.

Just like the above experience, many are the uncertain times we have faced and will still have to face in our own races. The hope we have is to look upwards with an assurance that just like this storm, our storms of life will eventually be calmed down.
