The Storm
far away you start to form
from the western hills ,you start your life
gaining strength and causing strife
five hundred miles you build your force
knowing exactly your destined course
now in the east i hear your sound
i fear your destination has been found
the sun in the sky starts to fade
as the clouds turn to a dark shade of grey
bang, crack the lightning arrives
with her brother the thunder god, of the skies
a force of strength that has no match
as a fearsome sight my eyes did catch
with a mighty bang the sky starts to cry
weeping her tears from a blackened sky
trees all round hold on tight
for their life is in danger on this day and night
the brown burnt grass starts to dance to life
i see green shoots cut through the earth like a knife.
i sit and watch as the old man i am
never boring of nature ,so grand
she threatens my life ,though spares me today.
i know she,ll be back some other day.
till then my old friend , natures force.
ill wait for you to take your next course
