Broken Skies

Born over the ocean,
Drifting above the seas,
Wandering towards a city,
As the humans start to see
Mothers tuck their children inside,
Behind strong walls and soft sheets,
They peep from behind curtains,
Catching a glimpse of me
Thunder rolls in waves,
Like a twisted ocean above,
They cower and shake,
And a strange anger breaks free
Flash! The drapes fall closed,
As screams erupt from within,
Lightning illuminates the sky,
The children hide from me
