Under the Surface

Dismal clouds consuming daylight
transforming blackened sky
thundering heartbeats-
have never been alive

flashes crackle without warning
while the earth holds its breath
steady limbs whipping violently
growing closer to death

The clouds leave peace in their wake
animals left landless
stars change an unending abyss
painting midnight canvas
