The Storm

A single tear
From heaven falls
A million follow

Cleanse the earth with endless tiny kisses

The world greys
Clouds mumble
Whispers grow to angry yells

Wash away the detritus of yesterday
Light the skies
Call forth the promise of a new tomorrow

Darkness
Noise
Blinding flashes and weeping empyrean
Creatures hide and children tremble

But after
As rumbles fade

Light

Colour

The world born anew
Clean
Glistening

All that was
Washed away
All that is yet to be
Free to bloom

Born from the storm
