i also put this in my lj...



the goddess of Storms


The clouds grow dark, hanging fat and low
Bruise purple, this promise of rain
Thunder rolling, a distant blow
Lightning leaping, then gone - in vain.

Tree branches swaying, drifting leaves dancing
Wind rushing to a howl
Hide in thy homes, the squall advancing
The goddess of Storms comes to prowl.

The rain patters down - now a sheet, then a flood
Raging as thunder roars
The goddess is here - her tears and her blood
As daylight closes its doors

A noontime sky as black as Death's shroud
As the storm's fury is spent
All her heart in this deluge, pouring down from the clouds
Both Hell and Heaven sent.

The snarl of her hounds is fading away
The wind pulling her on
But still, dark as night is this day
The goddess of storms claimed - and won.
