The storm raged on 
For days on end 
The sky roared 
Like a mighty lion 
The wind hissed 
And the trees thrashed 
The water splashed 
Ten foot waves crashed in 
No sign of hope 
Just as it struck midnight 
The clouds parted 
The moon and stars shone bright 
The crickets chirped 
The frogs croaked 
And the water was clam 
It was going to be a beautiful new day
