The Storm
The thunder rumbles
breaking the silence,
as the lightning flashes
splitting the darkness.
I stand all alone
in the open meadow,
feeling ever so calm
in the midst of the storm.
As the tempest rages
every way that I turn,
the cool summer rain
cleanses me to the core.
Hours pass me by
yet feels like eternity,
then just as soon
as it began, its all over.
The rain stops falling
and the sky starts to clear,
and reveals to my eyes
the light of the dawn.
As the sun struggles
to rise o'er the mountains,
the distant peals of thunder
are all that remain.
Theres a coolness in the air
and everything is like new,
now that the storm has past
a new day can finally begin.
