Ominous Storm

Standing in awe of the swirling darkness And to feel the rush of wind upon skin The contrast of black reveals gray's starkness Watching for onslaught of rain to begin Clouds dip and dive in an ominous dance Pushed by the meeting of cold and warm air The temperature drops from the storm's advance And bird wings are stiff as the winds ensnare Leaves blowing through like a swarm of locust Filling the air as they tumble and spin Causing the eyes to become unfocused Covering the head, as fear is locked in To duck and hide or to run and flee To know the danger of what your eyes see 2/24/18 contest Describe a thunderstorm without sound
