The loud, turbulent storm
Clouds rolled in to fill the sky
Lightening flashed bright and and dazzlingly
Heavy rain poured down mixing, ever changing

The demanding, inescapable brainstorm
Ideas whirled around to fill my mind
Brilliance flared, fantastic theories and devices
Multitudes of thoughts passing by refining and redefining
