The Storm

 Jagged peaks are swallowed

            by the black and bubbling gloom,

The air grows thick and heavy

           with impending doom.

The beast begins to growl

               as it begins to prowl,

                         lurking...

                                watching...

                                        waiting... 

            to shake the trees - 

                        to scatter the leaves...

                                        to jolt the earth with EXPLODING force!  

Beware the thrashing claws

        as it races across the sky - 

                    snarling...

                            gnashing...

                                     snapping...

        Growling - 

              prowling... 

Soon, like a shadow, it slips away and is gone.

                And the world melts together in a million drops of rain.
