Betrayed: A Storm

Calmness is betrayed
by the winds of the day
a storm is coming
high waves on the way

Wildlife is fleeing
dark clouds floating in
there is turmoil
calmness spreading thin

Thunder and lightening
tornados and heavy rain
darkness covers the bay
hope begins to wane

Suddenly it's over
calmness returns
there is sadness
some of the bay burns

The sun begins to rise
there is celebration in the bay
a new day dawning
hope rules the day

Rebuilding begins
wildlife gathers round
celebration of kindness and love
the fullness of life abound
