They arrive suddenly.
Like clouds invading a clear blue sky.
It starts with a slight tingling, through which the sky are still blue and empty of any trace of a cloud, and yet there is a profound feeling that something is about to arrive.
Like in a movie when the scene is still innocent but the soundtrack hints that something aweful is about to happen.
I notice it, I recognize it.
Then, comes fear. Gripping to the bone.
Reminds the moment when one stands in front of nature’s wild forces and realizes that all the power one has will not help at this moment.
I’m afraid and at the same time I know I have no choice but to let it be, for all will happen anyway.
I just wish to get under the covers and turn into the smallest ball possible until it passes and the blue sky returns.
