Raging Beauty

The thunder claps, the lightening strikes
as the sky starts to darken.
the roar of the wind, the severe rain
the ferociousness of the storm.
The waves of the sea are violent, the creatures beneath start to stir.
The wind rips through the air, a tree starts to fall, lightening bolts slice through the air, It's far from calm in the storm.
The rain ceases, the wind retreats, the clouds begin to leave.
A single beam of light shines through the clouds
and falls upon the sea.
The creatures calm, the sky stars to clear,
and a rainbow, with the beauty of a crystal appears.
