rain
driving sheets across the earth
pulling, tugging, baring, disparing
leaving
men and women
shivering from cold, huddled in fear
to small to withstand the tears and cries
the power of the worlds anguish
as today this day the curtain
is torn

silence
descending then
as the eye comes on through
in stillness, in horror, all furtivel wait
blood has been spilt
the stone has been thrown

steady
an incoming wall of savagery
the storm in its glory hs time left to run
then brightlight and whitelight and sunlight
is seen
streaming through clouds, pouring through rain
the storm in its fury gives way
to the sun
