written in Response to the Beast from The East


The Storm

The Storm rolled in building in intensity from a strong breeze to a Tempest
the clouds rolled and boiled Black and grey with purples and dirty yellow ochres all mixing in a turmoil a palette of destruction a cacophony of whooshing sound enough to scare the most hardened of Sailors.
The rain came down in torrents hard enough to cut through skin....lighting strikes thunder roars.....the very Heavens rent asunder by Gods anger.
We cower and hide in our caves hoping for the cessation of the Storm for times to return to normality, blue skies gentle breeze and sun warming our backs a time to relax and gather strengths for surely the Storm will return its the never ending cycle of Nature and all that it demands from us is that we endure...........

Nature in rampage is unstoppable and cyclical as you so descriptively write. To cower and wait is humanities destiny only or intellect allows us the refuge of knowing it will pass. Well written.

Very well described in vivid details. A storm at sea is a frightening thing, and you were right in seeking refuge. It's all that can be done and hope to last it out. Very well done.
