In the Storm Before the Calm

In the Storm Before the Calm

Winds that whipped,
blistering innocent faces,
in the storm before the calm

Trees that swayed in
unlikely places,
in the storm before the calm

Torrent rains came pouring down,
in the storm before the calm

Buildings and houses
fell to the ground,
in the storm before the calm

Destruction was her
middle name,
this storm before the calm

Life as we knew it
was never the same,
in the calm after the storm...
