Ravaging Storm
She pulls up the driveway...
The storm comes
The rain starts to pelt the Earth
It begins to splinter the wood
Cut into the hard ground
Like a knife made to cut
The lightning bears its own might
Shards of it crackle the sky
And the thunder
Oh the thunder rolls
Like a bass drum the never ends
And splits the ears into fragments
The wind crashes across
The landscape brushed with steel
The rain has no chance to survive
It pounds whoever is around
As the wind pulses through the air
Like a hurricane, lost and brutal
To the land it delves into
Moving, separating each
From its life, into darkness
Just like the sky, in the eye
Of the ravaging storm
