The Storm

Storms are so glorious.

Deep within the descended night,
Shining glory, the moon,
Sitting upon her darkened throne,
That burning stars festoon.
Adorning her head, a halo,
A deep set golden crown,
That glows with a prophetic ray,
Upon the silent town.

With a quiet, ancient knowledge,
The moon silently slips,
Behind dark clouds that northward blow,
From kiss of Nature's lips.

The clouds quickly cover the stars,
Like a volcanic ash,
Its arrival is soon announced,
By a thunderous crash.

Townsfolk close and latch their windows,
They climb into their beds,
They tightly close their frightened eyes,
Swiftly covered their heads.

But some are unable to sleep,
As they hear the tatter,
Of the lightly falling raindrops,
As they wetly scatter.

A harsh whisper of the cold wind,
Whistles sharp through the trees,
As a small boy begins to pray,
From down upon his knees.

"Please, O' gracious and mighty God,
From Heaven up above,
Please keep us safe and sound tonight,
For it is you I love."

From drizzle to pour,
The rain picks up more,
And wind rushes quickly past,
As the clouds start dancing,
The lightning is prancing,
Each clap louder than the last.

The gale blows fierce, a stinging bite,
It picks up more and more,
It's only to be deafened by,
The thunder's raging roar.

The rain slowly stops,
Until just a few drops,
Trickle down the window pane,
A flash in the sky,
Passes them by,
Signaling the end of the rain.

The darkest night is at an end,
A memory soon past,
Clouds open up to grey dawn sky,
It's a new day at last.

Author's Note

I think this could be interpreted as a just a nature poem, or maybe the internal struggle someone goes through in the face of a challenging obstacle. And it's always a brand new day when that challenge is overcome.
