A Storm Is Coming

A storm is coming. Darkness has descended in the middle of the day; The sunshine is no more, now the sky is becoming grey. In fear I hide beneath the shelter, trying to be safe. Inside I hide, beneath the rain. Thunder above booms out as a warning; Be prepared to be scared, for the lightning is coming. Dogs howl under a flash of light, on a very dark day; Where is the light that I woke up to this morning? Water pours down from the clouds up above; Where is the sunlight that brings us warmth? Where are all those promised, better days? Why are we so fearful of a little bit of rain and so in love with the sun? People run inside, trying not to get their hair and clothes wet; The man in shorts is now having regrets. The cold hits the air like the touch of death; Thunder and lightning are no friends of ours... So bring your brolly with you, or stay indoors And hide away with your pets. (C)2016 Aa Harvey.
