Look At the Gathering Storm

The sky is gray as late afternoon morphs into evening We are not prepared fot the gathering storm Peace is what we seek But the sky offers little hope and when the heavens burst we are taken aback We must prepare ourselves swiftly or be swept away by the howling storm or are struck by lightning An awesome display of nature's power Despite advances we cannot yet cope with the forces unleashed in a storm Look out your window Prepare yourself for the worst For nature does not make comprimises or change to suit us Prayers, rise heavenward Let's take solace in our small structures and our loved ones
