Raging Storm.

by Shirley E Kennedy

Storm clouds are gathering ever so high,
Lightning flashes illuminate the sky,
The silence is broken by thunder’s roar,
This raging storm is proposing a war.

Birds are all flying against the strong wind,
The forces of nature they cannot rescind,
Trees are all swaying, bending and creaking,
Down from the ceiling the water is leaking.

The storm front is moving at a fast speed,
Nature is warning so we must take heed,
Leaves and debris whirl and twirl in the sky,
This massive storm front is raging on high.

The clouds now carry a greenish-blue tinge,
On the near horizon they now impinge,
The sky has darkened and the air is cold,
Nature’s fury is now taking firm hold.

Although safe inside the fear builds within,
Thunder is roaring and rain falls on tin,
The lightning provides a dazzling light show,
Dark storm clouds suddenly are all aglow.

The raindrops sound louder up on the roof,
Hailstones are falling so there is the proof,
This storm is causing so much destruction,
As gale force winds test every construction.

Finally when the storm’s force has been spent,
Structures once solid are broken and bent,
The storm is gone and clouds clear from the sky,
Once more the radiant sun shines on high.
