Hard Night Storm

By Bob Dougherty

Pacific storm charged the night.
Power outage chills.
Power back, clocks set right.
Power of nature thrills.
 
Candlelight,
Dusky sight,
Sipping wine,
Winds whine,
Driving rain,
Beats window, pain.
The present fades,
Into softer shades.
Morning came,
All's the same.
