During the night a storm erupted
holding us hostage
under a cabin roof.
I lit small candles when the power went down,
the night became a sightless eye
and we were afloat, unblinking
in the coracle of a disturbed dream;
tall pines thrashed the sky
whose shimmer was a dance
to thunderous applause from the rain.
Ten lines of near-perfection, Ray. Beautiful and not a word wasted. Still waiting for the rain where I am.

Thank you all Frederick, Tom, Jordyn, Graham, Stephen, Holden and K. Lynn for likes.
Thank you Carol, very scary experience I can assure you.
Great response Stephen thanks! Heavily edited this one so it needed to be concise. The rain has been a bit contrary with us in Surrey too, but typing this now we've had three water butts full!
