A lull in the whipping winds and seas.
A moment to catch your breath.
To take stock of the changes wrought.
Transient atmospheric acrobats.
Their power magnificent and terrible.
Creation and destruction entwines in
Massive citadels of cloud.
After such frenzy, the quiet is eerie.
A stark contrast.
As if the storm had never raged.
And yet it left its mark on us.
