Storm

rain pounding, ground flooding,
shelter shaking,
hearts quaking,
loose tiles lifted,
breaking, shattering …
silence
still
turmoil past
peace at last
a bird sings
life safe
gratitude.

"Wind battering, rattling, howling,

A tumultuous opening that captures a storm so well. And boy have we had some recently. They feel never ending. Maybe there are sunnier skies ahead in January.
Atmospheric poem, adroitly done Rhiannon. Paul
