Give Me Storm

give me storm that shall rend the Sky apart
white searing lightning to glimpse hell's Heart
deep rolling thunder Bruising the ground
heavy driving Rains to drench all sound
black Anvil clouds to pound back the sun
and gale force Winds leaving nowhere to run
give me Storm that shall Rise as a wave
tempest borne Frenzy and watery grave
crash upon the earth tear Land asunder
set skies Ablaze crackling with thunder
unbridled Fury upon the earth shall heave
Then unforeseen Mercy . . . storm grants Reprieve
give me storm like riptide from Shores reel
off horizon's distant sea Parting rumbles peal
calling freshly washed Sun to tend battered land
a few gentle raindrops Kiss upon my hand
And I shall stand and Wonder with awe
graced to live and seen nature's Beauty raw
