In the inky darkness of early night
The wind’s rising howl shrieked
A keening round house and home
Through trees whipped madly
Seas tossed wildly aloft
The storm showed its fury
Mighty Oaks uprooted
Flying crazily across the sky
Deadly airborne missiles
Landing where whim and fate would have them lie
Never a care for the humans there
Seas rising grey into the sky
White caps curling, tossed high
Crashed ferociously onto man made walks
Stormy weather
Throwing all before its might
The fury of the storm claimed the night
Mother Nature showing her dominion
With the daylight comes the count
The cost of her mighty roar
Reminding us of our small place
In the grandeur of the world
Challenging us to try again
To rebuild lives as they once were
To pray yet again for a miracle
To save us
When Mother Nature roars.

Very appropriate, considering the storms in the UK, the storms here yesterday and around the country, and more happening across Europe and the USA. And very real…

Very good description of a storm! I hope you and yours are safe and sound. It sounds like it was a pretty violent storm.

Could it also reflect the storm inside?
