under the dark clouds

Captures from Finland, Photography

I drove back to my summer house under these dark, very impressive clouds that loomed ominously over the horizon. A huge rain pour had just passed the area, leaving behind a fresh, earthy scent that filled the air, as the remnants of the storm clung to the landscape. All that was left to see were the swirling clouds and the distant rumble of thunder, echoing like a memory of the storm’s fury. As I navigated the winding road, I could feel the anticipation of the cool, refreshing breeze seeping through the open windows, mingling with the scent of wet pine trees and damp earth.

A winding road surrounded by lush greenery under an ominous sky.
A scenic view of a road lined with trees beneath a dramatic, cloudy sky.
A winding road leads through a lush landscape with dark clouds rolling in.

Stormy clouds gather thick,
veiling the winding road in a dark embrace,
their swirling forms whispering fervent secrets of August skies.
The air crackles with electric anticipation,
as nature’s breath draws in,
a symphony of windsong
passionately dances through the fields,
while the horizon sighs deeply,
cradled beneath the weight of rain,
painting the countryside
in lush hues of deep gray and fleeting light.

  1. WOW Ritva……….wow 😲 That is an impending storm. The colour contrasts are amazing.
    Your poem is brilliant. I love the lines –
    “their swirling forms whispering fervent secrets of August skies.” and “a symphony of windsong
    passionately dances through the fields,”
