Cover Me Up With The Tears From The Sky

Fear of thunderstorms (An Acrostic Form)

Crawl beneath the covers
Outside, the thunder roars
Violently shaking the Earth's core.
Ending is no where in sight
Rain pounces your windowpane.

Monstrous sounds assault your ears
Every cell in your body quakes.

Under the blanket you quickly hide
Peeking in hope of a reprieve.

Weather in its tumultuous glory
Inching ever closer still,
Time has no beginning or end
Hell is what you're going through.

The heavens open wide
Hail plummets from the sky
Earth is rocked on its axes.

Tears flow from closed eyes
Ears covered with trembling hands
All your fear is being realized
Rocking back and forth, hugging knees.
Sanity has long since fled.

Off in the distance the thunder rumbles
Finally over. You shake off the terror.

Time to return to practical thinking
Heaven is shining once again, the
Earth is still standing strong.

Sky is now a beautiful blue
Kinder too is the wind.
You're safe once again.
