Encased in water the car travels homewards
Straining to see, the world is crying for lost innocence
Covering her landscape in torrential tears.
The wind is pushing the car on the road
Buffeting it with bad temper, throwing rain-shards
Against the window, howling through the cracks.
The wipers strain against the weight of water,
Ineffectually flailing against the rain’s insistence,
Birds blown off course reel in the sky,
Trees writhe and cringe under storm’s fury
Thunder claps, lightning crackles and sears
Nature is venting her fury at man’s incompetence
The elements in turmoil, despair at their fate
Ahead a faint glow through the pouring rain
Another lonely traveller out on the road again
Like me silently hoping to weather the worst storm in years.
