Storm At Sea

The storm gathers strength
air increasing its wavelength
clouds rush as past they scurry
the cold creates a snow flurry

the winds fight as they battle 
cold against warm they rattle
out to sea the waves gigantic
as they rush across the Atlantic

building up into a hurricane
tossing like balsam the plane
the waves below broiling
for war they are spoiling

the ocean their playground
eerie, the lights and sound
of the clashing clouds
bodies will fill the shrouds

before the peace returns
until then the world burns
as nature's anger subsides
and the souls peace abides
