Blue skies overshadowed
with grey puffs, a warning
as the sunlight fades
Clouds burst and thunder claps, as
lightning brightens the darkness
and disappears again
Streets become pools
of unswimmable water,
the current carrying the days travels
down a hollow, rushing endlessly
toward the abyss
Water assaults your face
as you fight your umbrella
and the winds that threaten to take you
in a Mary Poppins kind of way
And then it’s gone, leaving
the air heavy with the scent
of rain….
