In the calm before the storm
Silence reigns
The breeze is gentle
The wind a comforting whisper
In the calm before the storm
Everything is magnified
Every action drawing attention
Every sigh like rolling thunder
In the calm before the storm
The edges blur
The skies open
Revealing heaven
In the calm before the storm
The chaos is within
The earth trembles
Darkness roars
With benign malignancy
In the calm before the storm
It grows cold
The clouds gather
The hearts of men waver
In the calm before the storm
The universe holds its breath
And in the calm within the storm
Every fibre of my being
Unleashes a primal scream
Silence reigns
The breeze is gentle
The wind a comforting whisper
In the calm before the storm
Everything is magnified
Every action drawing attention
Every sigh like rolling thunder
In the calm before the storm
The edges blur
The skies open
Revealing heaven
In the calm before the storm
The chaos is within
The earth trembles
Darkness roars
With benign malignancy
In the calm before the storm
It grows cold
The clouds gather
The hearts of men waver
In the calm before the storm
The universe holds its breath
And in the calm within the storm
Every fibre of my being
Unleashes a primal scream

Under normal circumstances, the calm before a storm is only as spine-chilling, breath-taking(in a bad way of course), nauseating, terribly-overcome-with-a-sense-of-foreboding, heart-lurching, butterflies-in-your-stomach, absolutedly gloomy and all (like you've described), if and only if ...
It's already past and you're seeing it on some soppy rerun or documentary complete with slow-mo action, constant replays and dramatic music.
Other than that it would most probably be just like another perfect day - unless you're a pessimist.
Hey, Jia Wern. Guess who?
Haha, nice one. Although I daresay that depends two things: the type of storm you're referring to and the lucky person who's about to be blown away.
Some types of storms hit so often that one can tell when it's coming. You know it's coming, and you just can't run away fast enough. During those times you don't have to wait for soppy replays to experience the kind of emotions that slow-mo action, constant replays, and dramatic music evoke. Anticipation is as powerful a movie camera.
Although, as you pointed out, I'm positively optimistic about my pessimism. Optimists miss out on some of the finer points of life. =P
I'm not going to hazard a guess on who you are. This is the internet: I'll probably embarrass myself. I'm a pessimist, remember? =P
Nice parry ....
Looking foward to your next artistic display, eh?
