Blinding Lightning

The morning is calm despite the evening storm The winds rattled the house and shook the trees The weak are severed on the ground Sunlight sets the fog aglow Silver grey with glints of gold Singing birds and dancing feet Praise the keeper of the winds Wet and slick the shrubs rejoice Even if I hear no voice Moisture revives the earth Singing birds and dancing feet Praise the keeper of the winds Soaring wings playful feats Praise the keeper of the winds
