Pitch black. Black as night. Blacker than black. All is silent. Eerily silent. Deathly silent. Waiting. Fearing. Expecting... the worse. The wind whistling, winding itself through the trees, seductively, assertively, aggressively. Tension building. Coming closer. Gathering pace. Leaves quiver. Trees shake. A flash of lightening. A piercing crack. Dead above. Eyes wide. Heart stopped. Frozen. Then just as abruptly as it arrived, its gone. Leaving the rain behind. Pitter, patter, plop on the tent canvas. Soothing. Calming. Zzzzzz. Dawn comes. Birds sing. Fresh morning dew. All's well in the world once more. Til the next time....

I wrote this while wild-ish camping and just loved the energy of the storm on my first night. This is my first ever attempt at a poem - as an adult!
