Night Storm

Crash of thunder
Burst of light
Dreams and visions
Pierce the night

Roar and rumble
Blinding glare
Haunting image
Fills the air

Sounding fury
Blazing sweep
Shear apart
Time-drops of sleep

Tossing, turning,
Cold, then warm,
Victim of
The raging storm

Evening trembles
Midnight sweat
Thunder, lightning,
Bold and wet.

Fitful sleep
Awaiting dawn
Night storm rage
Here, then gone.
