Silent Roar

Cloudy sky with shades of grey,
For the fearful, the atmosphere carries much dismay,
To the adventurous, it's another day,
From a distance, flashes can be seen as laser light rays.

A murder flies in a beeline,
Wind blows dust in a sub-Saharan landmine,
Visible are the black Patterned spots on the sand of drizzling rain,
Lo! There goes the sound of Divine.

Silent Salient lands,
Darkness caves in as a system command,
Before hand is an accompaniment of its shining rock band,
Here, amidst the hidden midland. 

Contest name: Describe a Thunderstorm without the sense of sound.
Sponsor name: Brenda Chiri.
