When the storm hits 

You do not fight 

You face the blast 

You hold on tight

And when it rains

It pours despite 

The silent screams

In scrawls you write

Then comes the lightning

And thunder follows

Bellowing, frightening

Leak in the hollows

As you peer skyward

Daring the blizzard

And you writhe inward

Where lies sheer hazard

You feel the rampage 

Soaking your brain

Ripping page by page

It starts to drain

Into the backache 

And the shoulder pain 

For when it gets too much

The weight snaps your crutch

But nothing keeps you sane

Except a hid solace

Hardly a saving grace

Man has taken in vain;

For when the flood hits 

And life becomes a blitz 

Men weep in the rain
