Calm Before The Storm

The world is calm all around us,

Not a single cloud in sight.

And yet.

And yet you manage to grey the heavens

And dull out all colors visible.

You manage, somehow,

To stop the shine of the sun

From ever reaching me.

This is the calm before the storm.

I want some peace

And I want some color

To reach me here in my home.

Yet everyone knows

Nothing is safe

From the calm before the storm.
