Calm before the storm
Wind rolls slowly, lazily
Waves lap the sandy beaches
It’s peaceful
There are no cares in the world
No birds sing
Nobody notices the slight oddity
The animals act strangely
Hiding almost expecting something
Ominous
Then
Wind howls
Waves crash
There is no peace
Screaming, howling
Can’t tell the difference anymore
Waters rise
Darkness takes over the land
Hiding, praying in basements
People desperately wish for the storm to pass
Sleepless nights
Continuous destruction
Then
Calm
Waves settle
Winds slow
They tire out and continue in their lazy demeanor
The storm has passed
Once again
