Storm overnight

There must have been a storm overnight.
Traces of its madness can be seen on the street.
This tree has suffered the most.
One of its branches severed by the gale.
All around leaves and flowers are strewn,
depicting a scene of massacre.
But the trees,leaves and the grass look so green and lively now.
The birds are also chirping,
soaking the soft sun rays warming their wet feathers.
Walking in to the cool breeze blowing now,
It's difficult to fathom the reality
which was faced by the trees and the birds
last night,
when the storm struck.
As we remained fast asleep in our homes,
cocooned in our safe air conditioned existence.
