A Quiet Storm

I heard not a sound that morn As lightning lit up the dawn The sky was dark and it was torn By lightning strikes that Zeus spawned Caught in the midst of a quiet storm I heard not a sound that morn Silence had become the norm All the petals on the rose were shorn The dark clouds that the sky had worn Released the rain in silent sighs I heard not a sound that morn But I saw anger in the skies The trees outside began to shake As on the wind the storm was born Leaving a silent fury in its wake But I heard not a sound that morn -- 2-14-18 Contest: Describe a thunderstorm without sound Sponsor: Brenda Chiri
