the stormy night



When the heavy wind blew
In the wee hours of the morning
When there was heavy downpour
The silence woke the sleepy head

The roof tiles drumming
Running into beats of its own
The strong wind played its rhythm
In the dark of the morning light

The streets light glowed
Leading all the way to the beach
The rising tide came to watch
Creeping into the back alley

It sung its fury
Of the dark morning light
The mind got up in high gear
Listening for any awful sound

When morning light came
The high tide got its way
It flooded the garden and back alley
The stray cats ran leaving the snakes to worry
