The Storm

The storm brews in horizon hues
Lurking in gray, ominous skies
Prepare to pay your dues
Thunder claps, as the heart cries

Lurking in gray, ominous skies
An attack is now underway
Thunder claps, as the heart cries
Hold onto what you want to say

An attack is now underway
Stay strong, stand against the blowing force
Hold onto what you want to say
Focus and live to stay on course

Stay strong against the blowing force
Have faith and follow the light
Focus and live to stay on course
Let there be no never-ending night

Have faith and follow the light
Prepare to pay your dues
Let there be no never-ending night
The storm brews in horizon hues

You penned such a superb pantoum, Heidi. Your rhyme and geat dictation shed more enchantment on your poem, and I'm sure Milton will appreciate this. Best for a win.
