Weathering The Storm

Have you ever sat in bed at night

and listened to the winds howling

and blowing outside In a bad storm.

And the rain battering down.

The combination of both.

Rattling on your window panes

of glass and objects outside.

Getting beaten by the  ravishing

droplets of rain

and the almighty strength of the gusts

of wind doing their worse.

Like garden furniture getting thrown

about your yard like child toys.

And if you have a windchime.

They are going manic.

The trees you can actually hear

are actually bending and arching

by the force of Mother Nature.

Every living creature is trying

to find safety and shelter

in this turmoil of destruction.

Hiding in safety from

the earth personified

As she does her worse

to prove to us all.

Who runs the show

called life and living.

And after the storm

the silence, destruction

and humbling of surviving

yet another day.

The wording you use really does bring the scene to life especially the references to the sounds of the storm
