Tempestuous

Boiling blackness rolls over the hillside Trees bowing to the rampaging weight Lightning, dances at right angles in sweeping stride The rain stinging like pins and needles irritates Lighting flashes again temporarily, blinding the eyes Looking through your rain drenched eyelids, hail bounces like a broken pearl necklace from the skies A quick shivering wind, then stand we in awe like kids A swirling funnel of darkness begins its descent Stunned momentarily, by the eerie calmness, then running for cover, from the winding serpent Grabbing something’s and not others, all a bit ominous, like a living beast devouring, what it chooses at will I close my eyes and pray but my heart will not be still
