I see the heaven’s darken
Hear the mighty thunder call
Beckoning me to come outside
To feel the waters fall
I watch as the sky is parted
And the light comes back again
Chasing away the blackened night
With the cleansing of the rain

The storm raged
thunderous explosions
like the Fourth of July
without its colors
rattled windows
dislocated, limbs fell
against the glass
or did they knock
asking me, to let them in
shelter from the battle
I don’t know, shades drawn
lights out, I could not see
seated in the darkness
only my shadow reflected
on the wall, as lightning
danced across the skies
illuminated, then black again
ice pellets, echoed,
the noise, like machine guns,
ravaging the night, a hunter
claimed his prey
then unexpected silence
the only sound heard
was the peaceful rain,
gently falling.
a truce…………

Restless is the wind
Blowing circles all around
Oblivious to the echoing din
And all that it surrounds
Releasing loud, its mighty roar
Cloudbursts drown the quiet
Of song birds singing merrily
Refusing to be silent
Watching as the storm clouds fade
Returning skies to bright
Giving way to rainbows
Shining through the light
Sunshine dries the fallen rain
And skies are colored blue, again

The sound of thunder
Is the beating of a heart,
A tempest of love

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….
