Ravaging Storm

She pulls up the driveway... The storm comes The rain starts to pelt the Earth It begins to splinter the wood Cut into the hard ground Like a knife made to cut The lightning bears its own might Shards of it crackle the sky And the thunder Oh the thunder rolls Like a bass drum the never ends And splits the ears into fragments The wind crashes across The landscape brushed with steel The rain has no chance to survive It pounds whoever is around As the wind pulses through the air Like a hurricane, lost and brutal To the land it delves into Moving, separating each From its life, into darkness Just like the sky, in the eye Of the ravaging storm Russell Sivey
