Rainsquall Shadows

just a while ago, the rainsquall
                 furiously lashed and blasted away 
                                          at the roofs and walls;

winds wailed like tormented  ghosts 
                 through cracks and gaps between 
                                          windows and sills;

lightning needled through dark skies
                 between the fluttering curtains
                                          and frosted panes;

the room shook  as though tossed
                 by  angry waves rushing, crashing
                                          against boulders;

but now, the growling thunder sounds
                 more distant, like nightmare that is
                                          recalled in sunshine;

and her room glows warm in the aftermath 
                 of it all, our candlelight shadows
                                          dance on the wall !
