Stormy Scenes

Bruised clouds
surrender pained tears
across the grey canvass--sky
Tapping our skin with a delicate rhythm:
tap... tap... tap...
Seeking our attention
amidst rolling thunderous shouts
and harsh flashing blades of light
striking the ether.
Feet run bodies to shelter
to protect witnesses from the violent assault
A downpour of overcast moods
Battered clouds veil clear skies
Until quiet breath apologetically pulls
the tear-filled victims away...
