The Storm Within

Written for a "The Writer's Cramp"  prompt, to use the following words in a story or poem:
Autumn
Leaves
Hurricane
aftermath
Power outage
flooding
recovery

When there's a flooding of emotions,
Words fall -- like Autumn leaves,
All the anger, sadness, frustration
All the year's grudges and peeves.

These are unleashed on friends and family
With no thought for another's feeling
They leave the heart and soul drained
They set the mind reeling.

It's like a Hurricane of sound,
It brings destruction in its wake
It drains anyone of happiness
Like a power outage, for goodness' sake!

It creates darkness and fear
And in its aftermath
It makes near ones wary
Of facing such ominous wrath.

But, love wins over
And reader, don't you worry
When anger meets compassion
There's always complete recovery.
