The glass lake’s surface is broken
All reflection is splintered by waves
Blackness and menace take over the sky
Bullying blue composure away

As clouds fight and argue for dominance
Thunderous exchanges are made
And stabs of white spear lightning
Attack the silent innocent trees

The force of nature ever more intense
Begins to pummel the surface
Of the once glass like lake
Forcing the trees to bend under it's will

Glass lake of tranquility unmoving
Now peppered with dark charcoal dust
The eagles though cautious return to their game
Cloudless sky, clear of nightmare once again
