The Late Night Storm

The Late Night Storm Looking up in a stormy night Lightning flashes across a dark starless sky Thunder rolls through fields and cities Such energy released on a sleepy Earth Ancient trees explode in massive fireballs The amber light of the fires blend with the white heat Casting demonic shadows on lifeless walls The beauty of the storm becomes nonexistent Boundless fear overcomes nature’s beauty The storm seems to rage forever Flashes, thunder and wave upon wave of rain Pounding into defenseless ears Forcing its way into the primal instinct to flee The beauty is all gone Fear has destroyed every vestige Covered under blankets we hide Waiting for the storm to end Hoping we will survive the night After hours the bravest look out of their shelter The sun is shining in its entire splendor The storms have long since traveled to the east Fears go back to rest as we see the world The beauty has returned
