The coarse, unforgving raindrops-
Pounding on the cold earth with such ferocity, and speed
Like the madman who feverently hammers the drums of war...

The ongoing, low rumblings of thunder-
Low at first, but growing steadily to its ear-blistering climax
Low, and foreboding, like the ominous war-machine awakened from deep slumber...

The sudden, sharp, cracklings of lightning-
Eye-piercing in their sudden brilliance
Brighter than the firey spirits, and ambitions
Of past,present, and future fallen ones...

The maddening banshee-cry of the wind-
Carrying the battle-cries of past warriors in it's wake
Deep, and terrible is the sound
A shrill, furious howl, which instills fear in the most steadfast of men
and summons dead warriors from their graves.

Soon, I shall be among the defeated
My battle-scarred body will lie silent amidst the din of battle, and the drums of war
My fallen spirit will burn brightest in the raven-colored night sky
Leaving my broken soul to forever grace the night winds.

I like the strength and passion in this piece. I especially like
leaving my defeated soul to forever grace the night winds.
Be well

This is powerful and wild filled with the fury of anguished nature. Very expressive.

Thanx for all your responses, and for takin the time to read this poem.

Oh, and Deepak, the exclamation points...It basically means a scream, or some other loud noise which really cant be put into words.
