The storm
IRENE
The stillness, the calm, birds hushed,
as the dark clouds gatherered over head
The wind, howling, moaning, groaning
The clouds, angry and black, as heavy as lead
People hurrying, scurrying, battoning down the doors
Sheltering in safety in cellers, below the ground floors
The rain, lashing, crashing, smashing to the ground
Thunder, lightening......such a scary sound
Trees uprooted, tossed upon the ground
Destruction, in all directions, as rubble becomes a mound
The deluge continues, with such savage relent
"End of the world" say the sinners "Repent"
Mother nature, unleashes her rage
The extent of her damage, we are yet to guage
When the morning breaks, and the sun cast its light
The destruction she caused will be brought to light
All we can pray, for one, not a round
That you come through it, safe and sound
The stillness, the calm, birds hushed,
as the dark clouds gatherered over head
The wind, howling, moaning, groaning
The clouds, angry and black, as heavy as lead
People hurrying, scurrying, battoning down the doors
Sheltering in safety in cellers, below the ground floors
The rain, lashing, crashing, smashing to the ground
Thunder, lightening......such a scary sound
Trees uprooted, tossed upon the ground
Destruction, in all directions, as rubble becomes a mound
The deluge continues, with such savage relent
"End of the world" say the sinners "Repent"
Mother nature, unleashes her rage
The extent of her damage, we are yet to guage
When the morning breaks, and the sun cast its light
The destruction she caused will be brought to light
All we can pray, for one, not a round
That you come through it, safe and sound

A very topical write at this tense time... I do hope that nature does not wreak her havoc, and that there is no loss of life.
Best wishes
