Shaft of Light

The arrival of daybreak resembled the dusk Dark clouds covered the sky from east to west A rumble of thunder sliced through the air Accentuating the start of a stormy affair Then the rain came pouring down Making a loud pitter patter sound...... The downpour stopped after a while And we thought the sun would peek out and smile A songbird's melody was a welcome delight For a split second the outlook seemed bright Then in the heavens a wonderful sight Through the darkest of clouds, burst a shaft of light! 2-2-2013
