Surf crashing
Waves thrashing.
Fan corals waving
The tide ebbing.
The rip roaring
Tropical storm brewing.
Horizon darkening
Lightning flashing.
Thunder crashing
Wind blasting.
Sand smarting
Rain lashing.
Shutters rattling
Trees bending.
Leaves flying
Patio furniture scratching.
Animals and birds hiding
Humans sheltering.
Lights flickering
Then deceasing.
Heat sweltering
Hours waiting.
Sweating.
Then sky brightening
Wind abating.
Sun shining
Rainbow arching.
Life recovering and continuing.
Business resuming
Birds singing.
