A Coming Storm

The day is coming alas
A coming storm rolling in fast
Darker than any cloud over the cast

When day turns to everlasting night
Will we be forced into a blind fight?
Will we see clearly without light?

A storm heavy in mass
A catastrophic event may be our last
Darkness looms, growing vast

Signs of a apocalypse
Still we're blinded by trivial events
Final hours of our days, nearing eclipse

The coming storm forewarns
Awaiting to shuck us like corn
A harvest accompanies the final horn

I especially loved your last line, Justin, waiting for the harvest! Like Christians await the day of Jesus' coming!
