Poem: Tempest

[cherrykitkats]

A poem I wrote for my history class. The assignment was to write a poem about friendship, the changing seasons, or the beauty of nature. Naturally, I chose to write about nature (pun unintended ;P) and this is what I ended up with. Enjoy~ :3

Tempest
The murmur of a steady drizzle
The most lulling music to my weary ears
As translucent drops plunge downward
Shattering against unyielding terrain

Clouds obscure the heavens with gray hues from pallid to dark
Associated perpetually with gloom and despair
But my restless eyes see only beauty
More so than a sundrenched milieu

Yearning moans of the wind
Seeking a long lost love
Whispering to me its sorrows and secrets
Caressing lightly my pale cheek

A flash of white directly in front of me
But still too fleeting to fully grasp
A low growl follows after a moment’s pause
Eliciting a tremble of fear from the earth beneath

Lovely is the darkness of storms
Enchanting is the melody
Consoling is the touch
Intoxicating is the smell

Eternally my exodus from pain and sorrow
Evermore my most beloved lullaby
Everlastingly my inspiration
Forever beauty exemplified
