On the Day of a Winter Storm

On the day of the winter storm 
Tree branches were twisting 
The wind they were resisting 
Back and forth they would blow 
All weighed down by icy snow
Fallen birds
Sirens heard 
Snapping branches falling down
A winter storm destroys our town
Mother Nature letting go
To her perhaps it’s just a show
In us the fear is very strong
Mother what did we do wrong?
A sign to get on the right track
As people run from trees that crack
A warning from mother to what can come
Destruction took seconds for now she’s done 
Sorry my mother we made you mad
Our good will over power our bad
We’ll make you proud no reason to roar 
We’re sorry my mother for making you soar

I feel like I am caught in the middle of a cracking, windshield-smashing, tree-limb-smacking snow storm. Mother Nature indeed is having her way here, terrifying us. I can almost hear the sounds, so well done!
