Last Night's storm

No-one heard the thunder last night
yet
it threw its fury
on the sparrow's nest

No-one saw
the lightning
tear apart the firmament
into helpless fragments
yet
it reduced
my trust
to shreds

No - one felt
the rain
lashing the earth
mercilessly
punishing
the trembling leaves
still nascent
with memories
of birth

No-one heard
the wind
scream
abuses
vacating my mind
of poetry

There was a storm
last night
and it killed me
yet
the world
remains
the same..........
