The Storm

Rain softly falling
Gust blowing with a Vengeance
Darkness all around
Thunder rattling the windows
Lightning illuminating the sky from a distance
Trees falling with deafening thuds
Trickles of my sweat fall
My heart drops with each bang
And yet a short pause ensues…
Not a sound to bee heard… Am I safe?
Suddenly… Thunder roars! Boom! 
Lightening strikes again
I scream desperately for this storm to end
As tears fall off my fearful face
I have no one to contact
I remain alone
Am I safe? I still must ponder…
