The fresh clean air
The damp grass, how lovely
Wind dies along with depression of the roaring clouds
The crashing has stopped
≈Total silence≈
The flashes stop
When I go outside
As I look around
I realize I’m trapped within huge gray walls
 
What feels like hours of waiting,
Crash, Bang, Howl
I see nothing from my window
Except darkness
I open my window
I feel rain, snow, hail, and wind
I run to the second floor
More crashing, more flashing


After what I believe to be a life time
It all goes quiet
Clear blue skies
A cool breeze
Crystal blue green waters
Destroyed homes
Ambulances
Police
Fire

I look towards heaven
A double rainbow
A sign of promise
I’m going to be okay
Until the next one
