A Stormy Play

fringed rifts tear
aside a curtain
ragged with light 
stage is prepared
soft murmurs
grow into roars
voice raises to
a deafening scream
that erupts and whips
waters with
thundering applause

Wow, this sounds like the hurricane that is hitting the east coast of the U.S. right now. Very descriptive my good friend. A beautifully powerful poem. It must be raining where you are. : )
