Storm

The cerulean sky was not at her 
best
Clouded face darkened by the 
hardest fist
Color of bruise tainted over her 
angelic face
Frown she wore, beneath her 
brooding crest

The Herculean wind, confused 
where to go
Like unbridled horses, running 
ready to blow
Howling groans alarming the 
darkest night
Slamming the door , even if it's 
bolted tight

Awake, sleep never came 
through
Muted with scare, words dared 
not flew
All ears to catch the pouring 
noises outside
The tear, the break of the 
roaring sea tide

Before our eyes , we saw 
nothing
Houses and trees from here
seemed never existed
Gone and broken, the storm 
had seized
In our hearts, we said
Worldly possessions, we owned
Not a thing

Oh! God, look down 
Your utterly pitiable creatures
Shaken by fears, and soon 
doomed to graves
Prayers we held, all yours to 
save
