The Storm: Before and After

Two poems I wrote that are related to each other. I'd love to know what you get out of them.

The Storm Silently Rages
The Skies are clear
The Wind is calm 
The Water is still
Yet a Storm silently rages

Boiling beneath the surface
Ominous cloud brings darkness, unnoticed
Thunder roils and cackles, unheard
Lightning strikes and blinds, unseen
Rain pelts bring pain, unfelt

The Skies are clear
The Wind is calm
The Water is Still
Yet a Storm silently rages


The Storm Boils Over

What Happens
When the storm boils over
When it reaches the surface
When the thunder becomes heard
When the lightning becomes seen
When the clouds' darkness becomes noticed 
When the rain pelts start to hurt

The Storm sweeps through
Wiping everything in its path
You can try to repair
You can try to rebuild
But will it ever be the same
Can the damage be replaced
Can the faith be restored
Will you ever feel secure
Will you ever feel right
After the storm boils over
