Approaching gray clouds
choke life from jubilant skies.
Crackling air with quickened breath
disturbs earth's silence.
The wind's pursed lips
release mortal blow.
Hailstones spew frozen bullets
onto innocent victims.
Treacherous bolts of light
unleash impulsive rage across the sky.
The message is clear.
Mighty oaks bend, elephants cower
at nature's power.
In moments, hell's fury retreats,
balance is restored,
and the earth beams once again.
