Dance of the Reaper

Blackness descends, light hides from heavens wrath
Sleeping bear stirs, woken from Winter slumber
Sky dyed with inky clouds closes in, coffin shut on serenity
Distant murmurs heralding the oncoming storm.
As a silhouette I stand, captive on nature's stage
Air slowly chilled by the tongue of the beast
Sunlight shuttered out by black raincloud curtain
Shivering I stare into the very soul of hell.
Low rumbles crawl from the end of the valley
Like an army of demons from it's high creviced walls
Trees hang their rainsoaked heads in submission
As light cracks the sky and the heavens explode.
Watery tempest spits on the windows
As ether is lashed by the bright whips of fire
Coccooned I stay prisoner, witness in hiding
While billowing wind plays the symphony strings.
Day is all faded, thrashed is the landscape
Broken and bruised is the scene to my eyes
Mountains are swallowed by the dark empty void
As the dance of the reaper takes hold and plays on.

Remarkably, this is how I feel of late, like the witness you describe & also the storm itself.
Wonderful yet cryptic images of nature. A beautiful & powerful poem.
Thanks.

Well, aside from the title, this sounds like my playground.
Storms are one of the most invigorating forces on Earth.
Your imagery is flawless and so dramatic. I love how
you captured the sky in such an animated fashion. Your
interpretation of an angry storm is striking. And I agree.
They hold some air of magic and mystery.
Well done! -- Achelois

I liken weather storms like the stomr that rages inside sometimes.
After the storm, the air seems fresher, fragrant, senosry overlload, same wth the soul, after the tears and destruction, peace reins and everything seems more beautiful.

Hell hath no fury like mother nature! ;)
The way you built up the storm and created such excellent visuals while I read along was captivating. I really enjoyed the second stanza especially.
