Restless

 

 

the howling wind

bullies this night to tears,

increasing darks hold on the soul,

as shadows dance to deaths refrain

casting boughs to an earthly fate,

screaming obscenities to all

who foolishly challenge its might,

blackened clouds chase the heavens

blaspheming even the stars,

while grinning with blinding flashes

and drums bellow in relentless echo,

causing a dreams silent hesitation,

to tempests imposing majesty

Fiercely imaginative! Your entire depiction seizes the experience of being at war with a brutal, endless night. The storm, as both physical atmosphere and a metaphor for the inner struggle, is almost audible. A memorable work of art.
