bolt of lightning followed by a quick heart wrenching roar of thunder. The lightning lights up to sky as if it's suddenly become day and then is quickly swallowed and consumed till all that's lift is complete darkness. The thunder rumbles and bellows overhead like a wrath of God bellows that seems to echo on forever without ever coming to an end. I shrink away from the frightening sound that has always haunted me and me quiver. All members of the lifeguard patrol, who stood guard this terrible night, got through off by the power of ocean on the different sides. My beloved and I were among them.
This storm is new for our long and remote coastline and I am watching at first with my own eyes how the ocean is moving in every direction. There is no pattern to the movement, as wave tops are blown off and misted into the air. Anger of the ocean pushed, shoved, kicked, lifted and dropped everything that comes in its way. Dark cold waves are hitting us in the face and at the same time, giant thundering waves of saltwater are cascading down and slamming into our totally damaged lifeguard station on the beach. The sand ground seems to moving under my feet. Like a hapless boxer, we stand in a ring ruthlessly and relentlessly punched by a tougher opponent with no referee to stop. We are drifting on the small island called our lives.
For a moment there, it looked like the figure of my dearest one standing on the shingled beach. Just for a minute, the silver-forked sky lifts her up like a star that I will follow home. Then she disappeared as the cloaked sky bottled out the light of the moon.
What if this storm ends and I don't see her as she is now ever again?
