Poem Title:
Poem
A mighty force lurks out of sight Far out o'er the sea About to bring a monstrous fight Like none we've ever seen The time winds by and on the air The wind is first to show It starts out as a breeze so fair But endless is it's flow It picks up strength and close behind The waves march up in force Starting small but larger still They crash upon the shore Sheets of rain pour in and bring Lightning with thunder booms The storm is here its clouded rings Over the city looms Stretching vastly north to south It surges on full steam A powerful force within its clouds To flood the streets and streams Abandoned towns lie in the path As well as cities large A war upon this nation hath This storm declared its charge It turns the day to black like night Invades the cities holds Upon the shore it bears its might Reshapes it in the cold Boardwalks fall into the waves Their hungry mouths want more It gouges harbors into caves And floods the lower floors The rains join in and now they lay To waste the country land Two northern storms join in to play Snow is now at hand Lakes are formed in valleys low Where cattle used to graze While higher spots are cold with snow The world all in a haze Hours pass and now the storm Its strength starting to fade A hope is seen and human forms In streets now start to wade A mighty cry goes up at last The storm moves on its way The time has come and now alas The cleanup will take days Surviving souls will always see This storm in their minds eye Though the hardest times are yet to be The sun shines in the sky A nation rises up to save And help life start anew For we are all one and the same The red the white and blue
