After The Storm

What a storm last night
The weather raged a war
Battered us so hard
Smashing against my door

Howling winds that blow
Sending things crashing
Driving the heavy rain
Thrashing and lashing

Floods of water
Soaking all the land
Everything ruined
It`s pumps to the hand

The scenery has changed
What`s green, is now all grey
It`s cold, quiet and lonely
In the new light of day

Roadways are now rivers
Gardens have disappeared
Furniture all damaged
How long `til its all cleared?


A wet start to the new year, it can only get better.....
