We Died

The winds howled  
time was pushing down the door
 
the rains came
drenching the barren earth
 
I watched, but couldn't move
there was no end in sight
 
the birds stop singing
and the rivers rapidly rose
 
the sand once plentiful
now washed away
 
trees that used to mightily stand
topple over with ease
 
there was nothing holding their place
life as we knew it seem to erase
 
tears fell from my eye
more in abundance than the sky
 
the world stopped spinning
and we died
