After the Storm
Blazing bolts of lightening fry barren land
Appear abruptly with no forewarning
Failing to curtail the roar of thunder
Pounding her wrath across the angry sky
Fragile evergreen branches wave in desperation
Desperately seeking solace from the relentless fury
The twisted rage overpowering all in her path
Endless fury without the slightest remorse
She intensifies as mounds of earth embrace her bosom
Blind to the obliteration left behind as she persists
Sucking up and spitting out mounds of devastation
Wreaking havoc on that which was once peaceful
Calm and clarity set in as if never gone
Fear no longer dominates the wilted soul
Healing begins as grandeur spawns about
Tranquility sets a new path for happiness
