Under the clear blue
Beyond the hues of vast turquoise
See the striking glow

Sun sets and wind blows
The raging sea calms tonight
Continuing to sail
After the violent winds
After the stong rains
After the lighting and the thunder
Comes the calm after the storm
When the clouds open up
When the sun shines
When the rain stops and the winds are softer
Is the calm after the storm
But the damage is done
But the trees have been uprooted
But the houses are ruined
What’s the use of the calm after the storm
Because it is peaceful
Because it is serene
Because it is clear
Because it is the calm that can only come after a storm
Excuse me for using a quote from Game of Thrones; even though this entry has nothing to do with it, however the quote seemed appropriate. I’ve always been a person who hates the cold. I couldn’t wait until winter was over to shed the heavy layers of clothing in the spring and enjoy the bright warm sun of summer. I even wrote a blog entry expressing my great dislike of the winter season (https://artandlife11.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/why-i-hate-the-winter/). But this year for the first time in my life I’m wishing for winter (hope I don’t regret that statement later on).
Reasons why:
Bear in mind two things: first, I’ve never actually seen snow in my life; second, I’m talking about an Egyptian winter not a real one. 🙂
