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. |
