Storm
Today I watched
as daylight faded into night.
A fierce wind rose and howled--
the trees bent under its might.
Dark clouds gathered,
smothering stars and moon.
Thunder crashed and echoed--
a sky-shaking, roaring tune.
Bolts of lightning split the dark,
illuminating sheets of rain.
I wondered when it might be done--
but the storm returned again… and again.
