Calm Before The Storm

Oh, sweet serene,

My eyes glance up,

To the treetops green,

Against skies a steeley grey.

Birds flown to roost,

It is here I stay,

The waters still,

Boats in the dock,

The day is tranquil.

An eerie silence,

A distant rumble,

A broken fence,

The clouds crumble,

Into rain as a drizzle.

The shadows blanket over,

I run for shelter,

Under the cover.

The pitter patter,

Then the gush ‘n’rush,

As the skies open,

The roof clatters,

As I crouch on the ground,

The flowers take the weight,

I am lost and found,

A long time to wait.
