The Storm

The heavy dark clouds force their way in.
Pushing through the calm blues skies.
The wind’s anger growing as it howls.
The distant low grumble of thunder
Creeping closer as the sky eerily darkens.
The rain starts to fall, slowly at first.
Melodic as it lands against the window.
It quickly turns frenzied, thrashing and clubbing
The thunder loudly bellows over head.
The gray enraged sky flashes brilliantly.
Jagged streaks of energy lighting up the horizon.
Creating elegant patterns across the sky
Wind screams and whips through the resilient trees
Then, as soon as the storm ascended
It dissipates, moving its wrath onwards...
And a strange quiet peace settles.
The sounds of belated raindrops falling...
As the sky slowly clears of fury
Revealing a single ray of sunshine,
Fighting its way through the clouds.
