Deluge


Thunder cracks, sky ripped in two, booms echo, deep within our bones 
darkness looms eerily, as the lightning blinds
the heavens open, a deluge washes over our minds
as the rain falls heavily on our homes

Water rises, like a feeling of rage, the ground cant hold anymore
rivers flood a blanket of mud, wet, sludge, the feelings sink deeper
under the storm, we shelter, hoping this isn't a meeting with the grim reaper
the water keeps coming, never slowing, this downpour

The rains show no sign of abating, like they have been waiting
built up to this, so much pain to release
as all around voices beg for help please
the waters reach their highest peaks, devastating

the sea level now critical, as it covers the coastal towns
this flood, that clouds my mind, keeps going
as the torrential rains keep flowing
panic rises with each inch of water, as the land drowns

How long can this go on?
When will the weather change? will the rain ease?
Who will be left to start afresh? we cant see the trees
Is this our last gasp for breath or a new dawn?


Thanks for reading.
Kyle.
