Superstorm Sandy

Over warm Caribbean Shallows

A hot breeze lifts skyward.

Taking the ocean’s breath

Depositing it into ever expanding mountainous clouds.

Growing

Stretching

Expanding across the sea.

The wind begins to blow.

Rain falls

The beast begins to turn.

An eye opens

The beast awakens.

Pushing northward

Riding the winds

Ever strengthening

Ever expanding in the early Autumn air.

It eats another beast

Rolling from the west.

Atmospheric steering systems fail to turn the beast away.

Becoming one

They bring their wrath to eastern shores.

Snow inland

Waves and walls of water

Drive up the shores

Taking away the people’s power

Wreaking pain and destruction

Over the never sleeping cities.

Lives were lost

Heroes born

Things will never be the same.
