The Perfect Storm

A dazzling flash lights up the world around us 

As if to capture us as a photograph on a still frame of time 

A shrill clap of thunder breaks the silence around us

As the world recedes back into its dark unforgiving emptiness 

Slowly the Thunder clouds come rolling 

And large warm drops of rain start falling 

As the heavens cry in despair 

Two lost souls in the middle of nowhere 

No sign of life nor shelter in sight 

Just tall green grass swaying side to side

Lightening striking here and there 

Our hearts were racing.. 

Frantically searching for a lair... 

Suddenly a gust of wind carried to us the sound of distant chimes 

New hope was born in our minds 

Stumbling falling over the grass 

We ran towards the distant brass 

Thunder raged and lightning struck 

As we made our way through the muck 

My heart was trembling my hands were cold 

Drenched in that pouring rain 

My sanity I could no longer hold 

You held me close... 

You gave me strength... 

I knew deep inside... 

On you I can depend... 

We made it to that distant shed 

As all around us the darkness bled 

Thanking our stars for the saving grace 

That gave us shelter till the dawn doth embrace 

Slowly a golden ray of hope 

Crept through the cracks in the battered roof 

Giving the world new strength to cope

"All will be good, and here is the proof!" 

It's strange how the day looks brighter,

Colors of the realm so much more vibrant

When the sun shines after rain

Almost as if it's out of a fairy tale! 

All the balance of the world is slowly restored

As life falls back into the norm

In the aftermath of The perfect storm!!
