Imminent Storm

Dark clouds over the horizon far away

Strong waves are rushing towards the shore

Boatmen know that it is the coast that they have to stay

For storm warnings they rely on folklore.

Two ships stay anchored in the port

Waves attack their bodies from all sides

There is no risk of them getting lost

They are not going for rough sea rides.

The city skyscrapers are covered by a white shroud

Clouds have made them invisible

Neither is visible any crowd

The devastation may make the city pitiful.

The clouds are dark and ominous

They want to satiate sea’s appetite for water

The high sea waves are there to crush

Anything and everything that does matter.

Mountains loom large behind the rain clouds

To save their advance further

As the fury of nature pounds

There is an imminent change of weather.

Earth has faced many cataclysmic events over millennia

Yet from the ruins has sprouted new life

Yet humankind suffers dementia

Continues to live in strife.
