Wild wind shakes,
fence shudders, breaks;
huge waves pounding
boat battered,
on rocks grounding,
thrown and shattered;
wails of wind resounding;

suddenly rain pouring, lashing,
bashing, pushing trees crashing,
cables, cars crushing;

shelter
listen…

abruptly all still
quiet, peace,
rushing roarings cease …

sleep …

In the morning
sunshine sprinkles sparkles
on the lawn.

There's a great rhythm in this and much drama.

You have captured the essence of a storm and its aftermath perfectly, Rhiannon.
