symphony of sound
a discordant composition
orchestra on cosmic stage
witching hour to dawn
woken by screeching wind
twisting that way and this
manic banshees
rampaging
in through the window
chilling my body with cold damp fingers
shutting them out
they howl even louder
joined later by rain
incessant drumbeats
endless cadence
on hard earth
lightening
synthesized energy
streaking uncontrollably
around nature's concert hall
listening in silence
watching in awe
standing ovation
applauding unseen hands
