The Storm

 

The wind is whispering in my ears

as the gales run all around to & fro.

I hear the forest crying in sadness

Because leaves were beginning to fall.

 

At the distance the ocean sings a song

A loud and furious & boisterous tune.

The clouds trudge on heavily laden

Bulging and carrying the rain.

 

The trees laughed and clapped

Celebrating the coming rain.

A cacophonous thunder rumbling,

Booming and bursting, lighting the sky.

 

Birds scampering looking for shelter

Their nests weaved weather-tight.

The storm beats the land as a boxer

Pounds his opponent to the ground.

 

The sun hides behind the clouds scared;

It retires early to resurrect at dawn.

The flowers are trembling cold,

They wonder if this is for long.

 

The moon shows its face gloomy and eerie

Wondering if the storm is extending its stay.

Hours lapse one by one as the storm is

Losing its colossus grasp on the land.
