An Eternity of the Storm

The storm seemed like an eternity

It was a strong force that seemed unstoppable.

The wind sent whispers in every corner

Warning everyone to stay inside.

The doors were difficult to open

Because the wind was all around

One large door was open 

And everyone could see the storm

Whenever the wind went inside

It made the glass of the chandelier chime.

Many ventured out just to get home

Some didn't get back while some had a cold.

This storm that seemed like an eternity 

Was only a brief visit

But left a mark of its path

Trees, roofs, fences and more

Upside down, turned to the side and uprooted.

These are only some of its marks

But what really made a scar

Was the loss of loved ones

Who never made it back to their home

In fact no home there was anymore.
