The window, which sits in between the couch and chair, frames the impending storm and the ocean, adding a sense of impending drama to the scene.

The poetry:
The calm before the storm, a moment so serene,
A chance to catch our breath, before the winds begin to keen.
A brown couch, facing a single chair,
Inviting us to sit, to take a moment, to repair.
The window, a frame to the world outside,
The storm brewing, the ocean's tide.
A reminder of nature's power,
And the beauty that can bloom in the darkest hour.
The table with its vases of green,
A symbol of life, of growth, of serene.
Beside it, a cabinet, with books and a screen,
Representing the knowledge and comfort we glean.
Above it all, an artwork on the wall,
A reflection of our own perspective, our own call.
A chance to contemplate, to reflect,
On the calm before the storm, on the respect.
This moment of peace, is fleeting and rare,
A gift to be cherished, a treasure to bear.
For in the quiet, we find our strength,
To weather the storm, to go to any length.
So let us sit, and breathe in the calm,
For the storm is coming, and we must be calm.
Let us find solace in the stillness of the night,
For in the calm before the storm, we find our might.
