There is a storm raging outside |
The air is hot, sticky, and muggy, yet still and very calm You can feel the heat rising on your face, and you know the rain is coming Suddenly there is a breeze where there was no air before But, still there is that deadly calm that you feel just before a storm The leaves on the trees gently begin swaying, but not too much Looking up you see the heavy darkness moving into the sky, and deep inside you know that the storm is nearby Then without hesitation the first warning drops of rain fall on your face It's time to get inside because the storm is on its way Out of nowhere the limbs on the trees begin to shake and toss around violently The hail comes tumbling down and splatters all over the ground The storm is here, and you are glad that you took cover from the rain Limbs are falling and trees are pitching over knocking out lights and power every where Looking out your window you see power lines down and trees uprooted You see darkness everywhere, but still there is that calm surrounding you Feeling the power of the wind and the hail that's falling down you know the storm has hit And simultaneously you know that you are sitting in the eye of the storm Suddenly chairs and tables are being uplifted and roofs are flying by Neighbors' houses are tilting from side-to-side The worse is almost over, but you know to stay inside Because the winds are still very high, but inside your house you are no longer dry You look up, your roof is gone, as you sit there knowing that the eye of the storm has just passed you by! |
