Meteorological Spectacle

Clouds torn and dark;

boiling anger of two invisible masses;

they collide without prejudice

creating a tempest ready to unleash.

Its subjects at its mercy,

no premeditation, no malice;

though violent still in it’s intent.

Down comes the torrent

pummeling and unforgiving;

It’s presence felt by the boisterous wind

attacking everything in its path;

nothing is left unscathed.

Fire lighting the sky, hotter than the sun,

causing waves of air to reverberate the ground;

stomping the earth and leaving its presence behind

as it slowly dissipates with nowhere to be found.

The cascades unrelenting still;

creating masses of liquid that weren't there before;

pushing and bursting forth no longer to be contained

as it finds the path of least resistance down a drain

taking everything in its path.

Slowly it finally abates; no longer a driving rain

the precipitation returning from where it came,

the dark mass moves itself along;

suddenly the tempest is gone.

As raindrops blanket the land

giving it sustenance and rejuvenation,

the events making the air clean again;

prolonging all of life’s creation;

the cycle is back to where it began.
