Thunderstorm
Storm clouds blew in tempestuous winds
May's blue skies turned gray
Raindrops pranced into dance ,
And fell to quench dry earth
Flying leaves ,branches sway
Empowered by her wind
Stripping ,shredding
week and rotted limbs
A calming lullaby breeze
Tender and meek blew by
And bolts of lightning,and
Bouts of grumbled thunder ceased
Only stillness and calm remained
Too quickly thunderstorm was gone ...
