Storm Warning

I thought with the weather battering us tonight, I'd go for something dark and pagan. It would come as a shock to Richard Dawkins if the old gods that he dismisses were actually real, out there, huge and invisible to human eyes, but wreaking havoc on the world. 

Storm Warning

The Wind God, giant, elemental, mad
Vast and invisible, he stalks the land
Weeping heavy rain, he is so very sad
And reaches in pain to crush with hand

The Sea God, making waves, in a rage
Lashing the coasts, destructive might
The Kraken waking, come to engage
As sea walls crumble, in this blight

The River God, breaking bank, free
Unleashing waters in a mighty flood
The people scrambling, try to flee
And in his wake, mud, stinking mud

Dismiss the old Gods as myths: a mistake
Because in the storm, they will awake
