The silence that gripped the sky

Once the wind picked up

The roar was that of a lion

When the clouds form up

And trounce upon the ground 

The trees are torn up 

The birds are silent

The rain and thunder

Once prevalent 

Now missing from the seen

The twist of clouds and wind

Mask the destruction that passes through 

Houses and cars

What a wonder to behold

That wind and clouds could cause such a mess.
