Clouds rolled overhead as the wind whipped up molasses The sweet heady scent of the Incoming storm I call for you now, to come in and shelter A call left unheard in this wild open space Clouds swiftly darken casting shadows of starkness Sweetness turns brittle as the air hunkers down Echoing sounds of the wind determinedly surging forward Air smothering daylight in a heavy cloak of velvet I call again, to summon you home A call caught up in the billowing gale The crashing shriek of branches breaking Herald warning to seek retreat Then all at once, eeriness falls Deafening silence enveloping In the eye of the storm all I saw was you Your bright amber eyes holding my gaze Calling me home to come in and shelter To weather the storm with you on my lap Calling me in from the storm and the chaos Too late as I hear the thunderstorm clap
