Poem: When the Storm Knocked

I heard the rumble

I heard the grumble and growl

descending quick

from dissatisfied clouds

Like a thousand feet

The march of an army

rolling over the hills

like a warning

Then the sky

flipped from day to night

like God hit the switch

and turned out the lights

The soft pitter patter

upon the metal roof

was like the Earths melodic

playful tune

Then

it grew

Violent

jagged streaks

across the black sky

Brief bursts

of white

An instant roar

just above my head

marvelous in heart

danger in thought

But even after

the storm had left

the thunder remained

like an unwelcome guest

I checked the sky

I checked under my bed

Every place it could hide

but nothing made sense

Then I realized

to my regret

the storm had always been

inside my head

And still today

it has yet to stop

Just outside my door

the storm knocks
