another night where
dark winds
race through
the aged trees -
sending legions of rain
to batter windows -
limbs bend and sway
in a carefree -
drunken - dance
of violent freedom,
what devastation
will we find
in the light of day
Tag: storm
Summer Rain
soft, sweet summer rains
are a memory of yesterday,
now there is only
the violence of the storm:
lightning crashing
through the sky,
cracks of thunder
shattering the calm,
winds whipping stinging drops
against window panes
bending tree limbs
to their breaking points;
we've lost all desire
to be caught in the rain
