The Fury Of A Storm

I walked past a lonely shore,
Where the raging sea shrieked aloud,

Where i could feel the calmness of the nature,
Away from the city crowd..

Where the leaves danced to the rhythms of the wind,
Where squirrels climbed up and down the nearby mighty oak,
Where I could hear a million noises,
But the loudest - silence spoke..

I looked at the sun sinking in the sea,
Enjoying the weather- moist and warm,
Then a fierce breeze blew over me,
Serving as a warning of an upcoming storm...

The heavy winds that followed,
Berated every dancing leaf from its guardian-tree,
The squirrels which were playing lively a few moments ago,
Were now buried into the depths of the raging sea..

The silence was drowned in the majestic storm,
The serene calmness too, faded away,
Yeah! the tides did take turns,
but this time - the wrong way..

The great storm grew crazier than ever,
I noticed how furiously it uprooted every tree,
By the time I realized that even I stood in the battlefield,
The winds had already begun to fly towards me..

By that time, the clouds too, were pearching upon,
Dissolving the sunshine into the showers of rain,
I stood perplexed; surrounded by a countless questions,
Who knew if the sun would ever shine again ??
