Ode to the Storm's Majesty

Here comes the storm, nature's dynamic force

Emerging on the horizon, clouds stacking dense and tall

Wind whips through the trees, branches dancing in chorus

As thunder cracks loud, lightning flares, rains start to fall.

The skies grow dark, black and gray colors swirling

Daylight recedes as storm moves in booming and wild

Massive clouds flashing, tempest fury unfurling

Across the open plains stretching out wide.

Rain pouring down, drenching the thirsty ground

Wind howls as a mighty roar through the land all around

Trees leaning and swaying, the storm's power profound

Reshaping the landscape with its force, air pressure, and sound.

Torrents of water rush over the saturated earth

Flooding the rivers and streams, levels ever rising

The downpour continuous, giving the land a rebirth

Cleansing what came before, soil and life baptizing.

The skies unleash pent up power, the storm's grand show

Lightning cracking, thunder's deep rumble in tow

Within nature's symphony, energy ebbs and flows

As winds swirl and push the clouds onward in their row.

In the storm's chaos there lies exquisite order

Patterns that underpin its magical theater

We stand transfixed in awe of its magnificence and splendor

Knowing when it passes, we'll see clearer.

After the fury and noise have rolled through

Skies gradually lighten to reveal a brighter blue

The air smells fresh and earth is revitalized anew

From the storm's gift, once destructive now life imbued.

We see rainbows shimmering like bridges overhead

Sun breaking through the remnants of clouds widespread

The first birds singing, fluffing and stretching their wings instead

As the storm's memory stirs gratitude, not just dread.

This tempest, though intense, was but a passing phase

Part of nature's cycle through night and day

The land enriched, not ruined in the storm's fierce blaze

New life awakened in its thundering sway.

O storm you craft landscapes with your dramatic brush

You sculpt the earth with your gushing rains rush

We stand amazed at your majesty and crush

Knowing renewal follows in your surging flush

You strip and shake to reveal what's deep and true

Beneath surface you expose life starting anew

O storm you roar yet we know skies turn blue

For after you leave, hope and faith still imbue.
