The Storm

Whipping and thrashing It tears its teeth into anything blocking its path Frightened souls scatter and flee Others crouch and hid with closed eyes and clenched fists How could such natural violence exist What is its purpose As dust settles and the clouds part Light shines down in comfort Light without dark Would be merely an afterthought Like a breeze without heat A drink without thirst A breath without life
