After the Storm

A new day, sparkling and wet
Droplets left behind to shine
As the sun breaks through
Though the storm was welcome
Washing everything away
Making the world fresh again
Taking with it pain and worries 
A lingering scent
Still a thickness in the air
A thrill of excitement 
As the sun comes up
Shedding light on the world
Clean again
