I lie in darkness... listening

I lie in darkness
Listening to the wind shaking the trees

I lie in darkness
Listening to the rain drum on tin roofs

I lie in darkness
Listening to the storm raging round me

I lie in darkness
And all I hear is nature’s fury

No cars running
No horns beeping
No TV’s blasting
Nothing human heard

Just the sounds of the wind and rain
Of lashing trees and creaking houses
Things breaking and crashing
Falling apart

I lie in darkness… listening
