A poem that attacked my brain today. I seem to have a knack for starting things and being unable to finish them - how pathetic.
When the clouds become one
And block away the light of the sun
The skies darken and the seas waves beat the shores
And the heavens shake the earth with suppressed roars
Then begins “their” descent
From the heavens to the earth they are meant
Descending in seemingly single file
Descending upon the earth’s bile
Droplet after droplet the streets and gutters fill
Drop by drop they collect until they spill
Darker and yet darker becomes the sky
The birds cease to fly
The wind makes known its existence in magnificent howls
And the clouds begin to spew forth from their bowels
Over the ocean the wind battles
With the force of a thousand cattle
Spreading and devouring all in her path
Trees leave their roots bowing to her wrath
And block away the light of the sun
The skies darken and the seas waves beat the shores
And the heavens shake the earth with suppressed roars
Then begins “their” descent
From the heavens to the earth they are meant
Descending in seemingly single file
Descending upon the earth’s bile
Droplet after droplet the streets and gutters fill
Drop by drop they collect until they spill
Darker and yet darker becomes the sky
The birds cease to fly
The wind makes known its existence in magnificent howls
And the clouds begin to spew forth from their bowels
Over the ocean the wind battles
With the force of a thousand cattle
Spreading and devouring all in her path
Trees leave their roots bowing to her wrath
