Triplet

Prologue

Flashes of a luminous glow

Swims like a Borealis across the sky.

The cold compelling breeze

Soothes my clammy skin.

A  quiet rumbling,

Like the growl of angry hell hounds,

Anticipates the coming.

 

Storm

The sky unleashes electric snakes

As the wind rips through houses and trees.

Sweeping rain impinges upon the earth,

Scrubbing the night clean

To claps of deafening thunder.

I stand, insignificant as a leaf,

And watch in awe.

 

Of Divinity

Even as temple bells are chiming,

God has long left the altar to take a breath;

And in the wake of this night's monster

All is silent and dead.

 It is strange

 How such destruction calms my soul

 And makes a hard atheist,

 Believe.
