Storm’s Valentine

The storm is coming
we were often told of course
but it never came
once a few drops fell
and we said yes alright
let it rip but that was all
so we quit listening
until one morning again
a few small drops fell
then equally a few more
picking up speed and volume now
you could smell the trees sighing
under the lashing that ensued
pounding down louder and louder
you could feel the scary weight of it
four freight trains falling from the sky
I thought my house would break
and float away and then it did
roaring and crashing a river
swept us to the end of the world
it looked like Babylon we wept
