Shelter From The Storm Poem by Billy Loving

From the sky the rain cascades
Through the grass the rain parades
Winding its way to the river
Chilling me throughout, I shiver
Huddled beneath a tree
All as quiet as can be
Just the rain's lonely sound
Beating out its melody all around
Blurred vision peering through the sheeting rain
A sense of hopelessness pierces the brain
From my shelter unable to move
Waiting for the conditions to improve
Fierce blowing wind starts to swirl
Dancing in the air the raindrops whirl
For the tempest to abate
Under the tree, I patiently wait
