The Calm Before the Storm

In the distance the thunder rolls As the wind makes its presence known The leaves on the trees nervously await Once again, to be helplessly thrown The flowers bow down to the winds mighty hand As the birds look for some place to hide The angry clouds are all gathered in force To deliver its vengeance inside The sun now imprisoned, it fights to be free But its victory is no where in sight The clouds are too many, for the sun to defeat And together they smother its light The very earth begins to shiver and shake At the sound of the thunders deep voice It begs for mercy and for the suns intervention But the clouds give the sunshine no choice The silence is deafening as the sun breaks through And the thunder is made to conform But it's only an illusion, the clouds use to deceive The calm before the storm

I think Larry, we were viewing the same storm, if you read my poem called, The Storm, in my case, it passed over. Your poem is just wonderful in it's description of waiting for the storm. An excellent write. Constance
