Crying Skies

Crying Skies Slate grey ceiling… Somber feeling… Puddles your kids wait to walk in Materialize before our eyes While thunder does most of the talkin’ Cold winds comin’… Raindrops drummin’ Calls the god, Zeus, into action Unleashing lightning, brilliant and frightening, Splitting the sky with exaction Air pressure fallin’ Forest birds callin’ Creatures all huddled in masses Shiver and shake, their lives all at stake Watching the storm till it passes Sun saunders in… Shower bands thin… Rivers respond and run quicker Oceans grow wide, still tickling inside From Heaven’s abundant free liquor The breath of the sea… High humidity… Clouds billowed on the horizon Glow scarlet in morning An adequate warning That tempests and tempers are rising
