SOUNDLESS TEMPEST 

Now lightning flickers o'er distant mountain peaks. 
The sky develops shadows over all
The breeze accelerates and chills to speak
A warning of the fast approaching  squall

Small droplets speckle ‘cross the window pane.    
Timid creatures now are seeking sheltered refuge
Vivid flash announces close impending rain
Prodigious splashes transform to a deluge

The waves of rain traverse our panorama.    
Gauze curtains drawn by cosmic stage hand's might
Relentlessly recasting features to those of dark drama
As familiar scenes are shrouded, obscured from sight

Now random electric arcs flare bleak vision scanned.   
Against blackened clouds weird images confound
An awesome turmoil and darkness is on the land
All visible anchors cast off into shade spellbound

But the terrible drama plays out the penumbra turns fair
Known reference points can once again be seen
The near rocky peaks firm and clear through the rain-washed air
Residual cloud - fine-spun white wraps for hills now green
