Not What It Seems

Thunder drummed its way across the sky
The wind, a unstoppable force with purpose and drive

A blinding flash scorches the dark clouds
Enlightening everything and stealing its sound

Energy is stealing the air
Like it would stop time if it was dared

The air is so thick it seems to grab you
Demanding your attention, with no intention of stopping soon

Respect transforms to fear.
Its tremendous force is all you can hear.

Panic sets in, and you try to run
But its you it wants, your heart starts pounding like a drum

You need to escape and hide
Before it finds a way inside.

The storm is not what it seems
It will take you if you let it be more than a dream

In a list

    This is a very well thought out piece with a lot of very striking imagery. I love the weather theme that runs smoothly throughout the intire poem. And it held my attention right to the end. Well done and good luck in my contest.

    storms are good, they can be great to watch, aye they can be like our lives at times, we are blown about often i think. a good poem. some spelling errors i noticed which i have noted below.

    drumed - drummed / a unstopable - an unstoppable / Enlighting everthing - Enlightening everything
