The Unrelenting Storm Crow



Hear the silence so loud.
Watch the sneaking of the cloud.
Watch the darkness as it creeps.
Watch the willow as it weeps.
Hear the silence as it breaks...
...the great mountain as it wakes.
The clouds burst open, rain honing in.
In the clouds' face: a heinous grin.
Trees on which rain bore down,
Loosen grip as they begin to drown.
The sun was drowned out, and it seems to cry.
The clouds turn to a spout, as wind speeds go high.
Darkest cloud, swirling with power.
Kills the land, makes us cower.
Howling winds driving me insane.
Feel the furious pins of the rain.
Force of nature, screaming .
The power of it takes my breath.
The skies true colors begin to show. . .
Watch the prowess of the unrelenting storm crow.
